i sewed myself together with fake laughs and now i unravel every time they joke.

i’m so sorry. not because i hurt you, but because someone else did.

and words— sometimes they’re not enough. sometimes, they’re nothing at all.

why isn’t there a better way to show how deeply we feel in moments like this?

how do you say “my heart breaks with yours” and make it sound real?

how do you comfort someone when the past can’t be changed, and all you can offer is your quiet presence?

when all you want is to take the pain away— just for a moment?

i feel it. deeply.

and if that means anything at all— i hope you know: you’re not alone.
