In a time of resolve, silence speaks louder than thunder. When strength shifts from struggle to release, there is no shame,only clarity.

Some truths arrive without ceremony, just the quiet thud of a door that won’t open. There is mercy in silence, though it rarely feels like grace. Clarity doesn’t soothe; it strips. But even in refusal, there’s a kind of dignity. A stillness that doesn’t beg to be understood.
