Synopsis: The strength you saw in me was the result of a silent struggle. Behind the smiles, there were moments of weakness and a shed of tears. I put on a brave face because I didn’t want anyone to worry, but deep down, I was breaking too. If you’re reading this, take a moment to remind yourself that sometimes it’s okay to handle things silently.

Synopsis: Who are you when nobody is watching? is the question I ask myself. I am different with different people. My favorite version of “me” is the one that comes out when no one’s around, when my actions aren’t captured. We are the dark secrets we conceal and the mistakes that we make.We are the love left unexpressed and the unnoticed kindness.

Synopsis: People who are a great listener are also the ones who doesn’t have anyone to turn to when life’s being a bummer to them. These kind of people are the most dangerous as they’re very good at pretending; pretending to be fine, pretending to have things under control, when in reality they’re struggling to even get out of bed.

Synopsis: When I talk to someone going through a tough time, I hear myself saying things I wish someone had said to me. The advice I give is a reflection of my deepest hopes and desires. It’s a way of connecting with others and with myself. The words I share are not just for others; they are also for me.
