EPISODE 1: LEARNING SILENCE
Growing up, I didn’t struggle to be disciplined.
I struggled to be expressive.
I learned early that staying quiet was easier than explaining myself.
It avoided tension.
It avoided misunderstanding.
It felt like peace at the time.
But adulthood has a way of replaying old habits in new situations.
I’ve noticed how often I still choose silence, not because I have nothing to say, but because part of me believes speaking up will cost me something.
I’m starting to understand that silence protected me once.
But I’m also learning it doesn’t always serve me anymore.
That realization has been uncomfortable.
Just My Reality.
