People don’t always say “I love you”
Sometimes it sounds like:
- Be safe.
- Did you eat?
- Call me when you get home.
- I made you this.
Don’t sabotage your peace because chaos is familiar
I don’t know who needs to hear this but:
-“it only hurts a little” is still pain
-“I can ignore it” is still pain
-“I can cope with/manage it” is still pain
-“it’s bearable” is still pain
-“I can push through it” is still pain
-“it doesn’t hurt that much” is still pain
-“it doesn’t stop me from doing x” is still pain
You don’t need to be in agonizing pain to be in pain.
Language matters. Change the narrative.
