when everyone thinks you're over it 🌙🎭

People move on from your pain faster than you do. Not because they're bad, always. Just because they don't live inside your chest 🎭 They heard the story once, maybe twice, then life kept moving for them. But for you, it still shows up in the grocery aisle, in songs, in random smells, in the quiet after laughter.

And because everyone seems done with it, you start pretending you're done too 😭 You make jokes. You say, 'I'm fine now.' You act lighter than you feel because you don't want to be the person still talking about it. But healing doesn't follow the social calendar. Your heart is allowed to take longer than people's attention span. You don't need to perform recovery for anyone 🤍 If it still hurts, it still hurts. That doesn't mean you're stuck. It means the wound is still closing. Be patient with the hidden healing. Some of the deepest repairs happen where nobody can see 🌙
