Let this play if you’d like company while reading.
There are days when something inside just aches.
Not always in words.
Sometimes it’s a weight in the chest,
or a silence that feels too big.
You don’t have to make sense of it right away.
You don’t have to be okay on command.
This space — When It Hurts — is for those times.
It’s a small shelter made of gentle language and true things.
Each page is a hand held out when you’re tired of trying to hold it all yourself.
You can come here as you are:
angry, empty, overwhelmed, numb, lonely, afraid,
or just quietly human.
Inside, you’ll find small ways to stay near yourself —
no fixing, no forcing.
Just presence, kindness, and reminders that you’re not alone in this.
Choose what speaks to what you’re feeling:
Grief — when love has nowhere to go
Loneliness — when you feel unseen
Anxiety Spikes — when fear rushes in without warning
Shame Spirals — when you turn against yourself
Feeling Not — when everything goes quiet inside
Take your time.
You can start anywhere.
You can leave and come back.
This place will wait for you.
(from amiKit, with care — because sometimes, it just hurts.)
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.
