There are moments in life when you feel unseen, even when you are right there. Sometimes, being quiet makes people assume you are cold or distant. But behind that calm silence is often a person full of warmth, love, and depth, just someone who expresses it differently. This is my story about being a warm person who is often misunderstood. The Quiet Side of Me Sometimes I feel like people do not really see who I am. I am a woman of few words, and maybe that is why I am often misunderstood. I do not talk much, but that does not mean I do not care. In fact, I care more than I show. I just express it quietly and in my own way. I am warm, but my warmth is gentle, not loud or demanding. I listen, I observe, and I try to understand people before I speak. But when I feel that I do not belong, or when I sense that I am not truly welcomed, something inside me quietly shuts down. The wall that has been with me for years slowly rises again, protecting me from being hurt. Silence Is My Safe Spa...
One day at the park, a little boy was crying. His balloon flew away, and he couldn’t get it back. An old man saw him and came close. He smiled and gave the boy a new balloon. “This is for you,” the man said. “Because you are special.” The boy asked, “Why are you giving this to me?” The man said, “Because you are like God. If God saw you right now, He would do the same.” The boy smiled and gave him a hug. We are like God—so we can love, care, and forgive. But sometimes, people forget this. Sometimes, they let the devil use them to make others feel sad or alone. If someone hurts you, remember this: God never leaves you. You are still made like Him, and He still loves you. Choose to be like God. Choose to love. 💛
