You know those days when you try so hard to numb the pain, to push through that suffering, but it just won’t go away?
It’s not because you stopped trying.
No!
It’s more like the world itself is shouting at you, “You deserve this.”
Like, somehow, all the unfairness and harshness are aimed right at you.
It was just one of those days today.
When life already feels like a heavy blanket suffocating you, and even breathing feels like a task.
Everything was falling apart inside me, even though on the outside, I was still smiling, still saying “I’m fine.”
And then it happened.
Someone said something. Harsh. Careless. Cold.
It was just a few words, probably nothing to them.
So, it didn't just sting, but shattered my heart into pieces—a whole different kind of pain!
The first thought that crossed my mind wasn’t anger or even confusion.
It was, “Do I deserve this?”
Maybe I do.
Maybe I really do.
Maybe I really am the problem.
It’s strange how quick our minds go there, isn’t it?
We don’t even stop to ask, “Wait, is this true?”
We just let those words sink into our bones like they're facts.
But the thing that hit me the hardest was this — they didn’t even know what I was going through.
They had no clue about the storm in my chest, the anxieties, or the way I’d been silently battling everything just to get through the day.
They didn’t know.
What they don’t realize is how deeply even the smallest comment can hurt someone else.
How it can crush the spirit that’s already fragile and worn out.
At that moment, I wanted to cry so badly. Like really cry— not just a few tears, but cry until my heart felt empty and my throat wasn’t tight anymore.
But the emotions just stayed trapped inside me, like there's a lock in my throat, and no key fits.
So, it made me realize how important kindness really is.
Because you never know what someone else is carrying inside.
A little kindness—even just a small word or a simple gesture can mean the world to someone whose heart is breaking.
So, I try harder to be kind.
Because if I can’t be kind, I don’t want to be anything else!
