Sometimes survival gets mistaken for strength.
But not everything we survive feels graceful.
They didn’t see the collapse.
The silence.
The pretending.
The way the body kept going because it didn’t know what else to do.
Sometimes we keep going because we have no other choice.
And later, slowly, we learn how to come back to ourselves.
For anyone who kept going when they didn't know how.
