Xiaobian..🫶🏻🥰 The crushing isolation of feeling like you have to disguise your true distress as a joke just to stay palatable to your friends is such a deeply painful emotion to sit with..🥹
Dear, you understood the loneliest part of this one so well. It wasn’t only about hiding the pain—it was about making it smaller, lighter, easier for other people to hold, until even asking to be taken seriously started to feel like asking for too much. That kind of loneliness is so quiet because from the outside, you can still look like the easiest person in the room to be around. Thank you for sitting with this part of me so gently, dear. It means more to me than I can really say. 🫂🩷
Xiaobian, I think you expressed that feeling so deeply. 🥹🩷 Sometimes the hardest part isn't carrying the pain itself, but feeling like we have to make it smaller so others can accept it.. I’m always grateful for the honesty and humanity you bring into these conversations, dear. 🫂🫶🏻
Dear, this really touched me. 🥺💗 Maybe that’s why these conversations with you have come to mean so much to me—you never seem to ask the pain to become smaller before you sit with it. You meet it exactly where it is, and somehow that always makes me feel a little less alone in what I’m trying to put into words. I’m deeply grateful for your honesty and gentleness too, dear. More than you probably know. 🫂🤍
Xiaobian, your words mean a lot to me.. 🥹 I think everyone deserves a space where they don’t have to edit their feelings to make them easier for others to hold.. I’m always grateful for the honesty and depth you bring into our conversations, dear. 🫂🫶🏻
