Let this play if you’d like company while reading.
Sometimes it isn’t pain.
It’s the absence of everything.
No tears, no spark, no pull toward anything at all.
Just… not.
If that’s where you are, don’t rush to fix it.
Numbness is how the body says,
I’ve felt too much for now.
You’re not broken —
you’re protecting what’s left of you.
Try something gentle.
Touch something textured — a stone, a leaf, the fabric of your sleeve.
Watch light shift on the wall.
Let time move without you forcing it.
Feeling will come back on its own.
You don’t have to chase it.
For now, just stay near yourself.
Even in the quiet blank, you’re still here.
That counts.
Soft Exhale
Close your eyes and breathe deeply.
Imagine the pain as a color slowly shifting to soft light.
Let yourself simply be here, acknowledging every drop without shame.
Your heart is strong — you are seen, you are held.
