Nobody tells you that the hardest conversations are the ones you never have. The words that rot inside you because you chose peace over truth.
I have been guilty of this. More times than I can count.
You swallow words to keep the room comfortable. You smile when you should speak. You nod when you should walk away. And then one day, you realize the silence cost you more than any confrontation ever would have.
Speak. Even if your voice shakes. Even if the room goes cold.
The weight of things unsaid is heavier than any fallout.
