Silence.

Silence.

A double-edged sword.

It is incredibly healing

But also incredibly abusive

You don't deserve the latter.

You deserve better.

When it's used for destruction

Consciously or unconsciously

It cuts deep into our souls.

Like a knife being twisted in slow motion,

Each second an eternity of pain.

You deserve better.

It festers

It breeds distrust

It makes you fear

It makes you doubt

It makes you forget who you are

You deserve better.

Don't let them spoil silence for you.

Keep silence sacred.

Silence is meant for healing

Not for punishment

Remind your body

What safety in silence feels like

Slow down

Be Present

Meditate

Be by yourself

Pour your heart out

On paper

With a partner

With a friend

Remember

You deserve better

You always did
