When their silence has absolutely nothing to do with the story you’re making about yourself...

Not every silence is a rejection. Sometimes, people are caught in their own inner warfare, too overwhelmed to speak, too burdened to reach, too lost to respond.

Their silence may have nothing to do with your worth, and everything to do with their wounds. Don’t let your need for attention drown out your capacity for empathy. The world doesn’t revolve around your narrative alone. Sometimes, there’s a storm raging on the other side.

Pause. Breathe. Make space for their battles, not just your need for closure. Everyone’s fighting something they haven't told you about. Move with grace. That’s how you rise above the noise...yours first.
