OCTOBER QUIET .. October evenings feel heavier than most. The air turns cold, and suddenly the world feels smaller - quieter. You start thinking about the people you miss, the words you wish you had said, the versions of yourself you left behind. It's not the kind of sadness that screams - it's the one that just sits there, quietly pressing on your chest. You smile, you talk, you exist. but something inside you aches. Winter is coming, and with it the long nights that remind you how much you're still holding in - the fears, the regrets, the little heartbreaks that never found their closure. October makes your thoughts louder. Your heart, heavier. And sometimes, it's okay to just sit in that silence and let it wash over you - because pretending you're fine doesn't make the ache go away.
