Member-only story
Sometimes, we find comfort in conversations.
We laugh, share, connect —
We enjoy the thrill of meeting someone new,
believing in the possibility of genuine friendships.
But what if, in the midst of that joy,
we’re hit with a truth we never saw coming?
What if we end up learning the hard way?
Who will support us then?
People often reveal
their truest selves through words —
not actions, not appearances.
And as human beings,
we process those words,
internalizing them.
We carry them.
So, ask yourself:
Are they responsible for the cracks in your mental health?
Are they helping you heal — or pushing you deeper into the spiral?
We often fear weapons like swords,
but few understand the sharpness
of a careless sentence.
Few recognize how deep words can cut,
without ever drawing blood.
