What happens when we always try to do the right thing?

We become so good.
So kind.
So patient.
So invisible.

We forget how to scream.
We forget how to say no.
We forget how to want — without shame.

Some of us were taught that love must be earned.
That being good means being silent.
That pain is a private duty, not something to be witnessed.

But there is a cost.

The body starts to whisper.
Then ache.
Then collapse.

And one day we wake up and realize:
we’ve done everything right…
and still feel wrong.

So I ask you — not to fix it, just to feel it:

🌀 Reflection questions:

  • What has trying to be good cost me?
  • What have I silenced in myself, to be loved?
  • What am I afraid people would see if I stopped being the good one?

✨ The soul does not ask for perfection. Only truth.
