Feelingunseen Quotes

“She is not sure when exhaustion turned into a quiet longing to disappear, when the thought of not existing began to feel less frightening than the thought of living another day feeling so utterly alone. She moves through her days giving everything she has, yet somehow feels as though her presence means nothing, as though the world would continue breathing just as easily if she stopped. She is alive in all the ways that matter to everyone else, but inside, something in her is fading, unheard and unseen. She wishes for the pain to end, for the noise to stop, for one moment in which she does not have to be strong, needed, useful, or enough. She longs for someone to notice how close she is to breaking before her silence becomes permanent, to hold her before she forgets what it feels like to be held. And perhaps the cruelest part is that even in her darkest moments, she feels guilty for hurting, guilty for wanting to escape, guilty for being a woman who has given so much that she can no longer remember how to ask to be saved.”
