The painful truth is this: sometimes, in order to truly transform, we have to destroy ourselves first. As paradoxical as it sounds, self-destruction and rebirth are often part of the same journey. When everything we thought we were crumbles, we create space for who we’re meant to become.

Let’s talk about the quiet heroes who keep going — the ones everyone leans on but no one checks on. You know who you are. You’re the friend who shows up without needing to be asked. The one who says, “I’m fine” when you’re holding back a storm. The one who always has space for everyone else’s chaos, while your own world quietly wobbles beneath the weight.

When someone goes silent in the middle of a conflict or during moments of pain, many people misinterpret the behavior. It is easy to assume that this silence is a form of punishment or a manipulative tactic often called the silent treatment. In reality, for many individuals, going quiet is not an attempt to control others — it is a trauma response known as emotional withdrawal.
