#soft truth

There’s a stillness in true satisfaction.

A quiet yes that settles in your bones. It feels like alignment, like fullness, like coming home. Settling, on the other hand— it hums with unrest. It’s shrinking yourself just to stay. It’s holding your breath and calling it love. One nourishes. The other empties. And once you learn the difference, you’ll stop choosing half-loves and start waiting for what’s whole. You weren’t made to dim your light. You were made to feel at peace.

some days, healing doesn’t feel like relief. it feels like sitting still without reaching for what once hurt you.

that is also progress.

some nights, i pretend your absence is a choice i made.it's easier than admitting i wasn’t enough to stay for.
