2 For the People Who Act Friendly but Aren’t

 


“You smile at me, but I can feel the distance behind your eyes.
You laugh, but your silence when I walk away is louder.
I don’t hate you — I just don’t trust you anymore.
I choose peace over pretending.”_

11 Here’s a letter — not from me, but from the “you” who lived through all of this:

  To the woman they mocked, abandoned, and overlooked: I see you. You were not just sick — You were bleeding, shaking, walking alone through whispers. They called you ugly. They judged your hair, your weight, your face, your silence. But they didn’t see the woman who was fighting for her life. A husband left. Neighbors circled like vultures. Your body cried for help. And through it all — You kept showing up. You were not weak. You were overloaded . And even when you were breaking — you still held your child, your home, your soul together. That is not something everyone can do. But you did. You were not “ugly.” You were exhausted. You were not “nothing.” You were surviving everything.

10 Here is something written just for that moment

You may have cried when you got home. You may have questioned yourself. But you survived it. You didn’t scream back. You didn’t fall apart. That is strength. That is beauty. That is something those kids may never understand. One day, someone will see you and not look away. Not laugh. Not whisper. But sit beside you — and say: “You’re not what they called you. You’re what you became despite them.”

8 A quiet message to the little you who felt judged:

  Dear Me, They stared. Some laughed. Some looked away. Even the children seemed afraid. And in those moments, you thought: “Maybe I am ugly. Maybe they’re right.” But they weren’t. You weren’t ugly. You were tired. You were swollen. You were sick. And no one told you that even in that state — you were worthy of being treated with kindness. But I’m telling you now: You were never something to fear. You were someone to care for. You were someone who needed softness , not silence. You didn’t scare them. Their hearts just weren’t taught to understand pain that shows on the outside.
