I Feel Everything, I Just Don’t Say It

I Feel Everything, I Just Don’t Say It

There are days I sit with people, talk, joke, smile, and they think I’m okay. 

And they’re right. Most days, I am.

Because joy doesn’t always need a stage. 

Sometimes, it sits quietly in the way I show up for people, in the way I listen without interrupting, in the way I give without keeping score.

I Feel More Than I Speak

I remember moments that people forget. 

Like how someone gets quieter when they're overthinking. 

The way their eyes search for something to say, but they end up saying, “Nothing, just…” 

The way they reply differently when they’re really tired.

I don’t point it out. I just remember. 

And I adjust myself around it, softer voice, lighter words, fewer questions.

I don’t need people to tell me everything. 

If I care about you, I already notice.

I Love Making People Happy

There’s this peace I get when I see someone smile genuinely, especially those who are close to me. 

When they laugh at something I didn’t even think was that funny. 

When they smile randomly because they remembered something I said earlier. 

When they feel comfortable enough to just sit near me and not say anything. 

That’s enough for me.

So I give. 

Time, effort, presence, jokes, small coffee-tea breaks, shoulders to lean on. 

Not because I’m proving something, but because I want to.

Their happiness feels like mine too.

I don’t do it to be remembered. 

I do it because it feels good to see someone at ease, even if just for five minutes.

I Don’t Always Say What I Feel

I won’t always say “I missed you.” 

But I’ll ask, “How was your morning?” 

I won’t say “You seemed different yesterday.” 

But I’ll be gentler the next day.

I won’t tell you that I checked your face before responding..

To see whether you needed a joke or just silence.

That’s the kind of thing I feel. 

And no, I don’t expect anyone to understand all of it.

Instead of saying things, I am the person who will show how I respond, how I stay, how I remember. 

That’s how I love. Quietly, but fully.

I Find Joy in the Smallest Things

Like the way someone says “Thank you” without realizing how softly they say it. 

Or how they fix their tone when they’re excited and try to act calm. 

Sending the right reel at the right time. 

Being remembered in a small sentence. 

Hearing laughter I caused.

These aren’t big moments. But they hold my heart together.

I Choose to Be This Way

I’ve been through heartbreaks. 

I’ve faced the “let’s talk later” that never happened. 

I’ve dealt with the shift in people’s energy that didn’t need an explanation. 

But that doesn’t define me.

What defines me is that I still give, I still feel, I still find peace in kindness.

I don’t need drama to feel alive. 

I need honesty, warmth, and those few people who get it without me having to explain.

I Feel Everything, I Just Don’t Say It

And that’s okay.

Because if someone, somewhere, ever wonders how I truly felt..

They’ll find the answer in the way I made them laugh, 

In the way I listened without interrupting, 

In the way I stayed present without needing credit.

That’s me. 

That’s how I’ve always been.

Because at the end of the day, if someone close to me feels even a little better because of me..

I’ve done enough.

Good hearts don’t shout loudly. They glow — quietly
