In a world that feels increasingly connected online — yet increasingly isolated in reality — some of the simplest words are becoming the hardest to say.
I love you.
I miss you.
I need you.
I’m lonely.
I’m lost.
I’m sorry.
Please help me.
These words require vulnerability. They ask us to lower our guard. To risk rejection. To risk being seen. So we stay silent. We stay strong. We stay distant.
Yet silence deepens isolation. Strength without honesty becomes armour. And distance quietly widens the gap between hearts.
There is courage in admitting you care.
There is strength in admitting you struggle.
There is dignity in asking for help.
Perhaps the bravest thing we can do is speak the words we are most afraid to say.
Be your Heart.
