How many times have you swallowed the words?
Bit your tongue?
Smiled instead of screaming?
We’re taught that silence keeps the peace.
That honesty is too heavy.
That feelings should be filtered — or forgotten.
But what if you spoke?
Not in anger.
Not in blame.
Just in truth.
Would you be heard?
Would someone finally look you in the eyes — and see you?
Or would silence still echo louder than your voice?
We say we want connection.
But connection begins with vulnerability.
With the courage to say: “This is me. This is real.”
And if no one listens?
At least you did.
Say it anyway.
Feel it anyway.
Because truth is not about who hears it.
It’s about you finally hearing yourself.
What’s the one thing you’ve been wanting to say — but never did?
