Frenchie's Affirmations

Some burdens are invisible by design. They live in the quiet pause between conversations. They settle into the body long after the mind has moved on. And sometimes, they become so familiar we forget to name them — let alone share them. The weight we never speak of is often the one that shapes us most. It appears in the way we hesitate before trusting. In the tension we carry in our shoulders. In the instinct to say “I’m fine” when the truth is “I’m exhausted.” These unspoken aches rarely announce themselves. They linger. They thicken. They become a second skin. And yet — healing does not always require articulation. Sometimes, healing begins with presence. My affirmation “ I am held by love that eases even the weight I never speak of ” is not about solving or exposing those unspoken wounds. It’s about something gentler: permission. The permission to soften. The permission to be held — not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. This is not a love that demands we explain ou...

Silence is often mistaken for emptiness. We try to fill it—with voices, gestures, or thoughts—believing its presence signals a lack. Yet the most profound silences are not those shared in intimacy, but those experienced entirely alone. This is the silence of a room after someone has left. The silence of a phone that no longer rings. The silence in a house where memories echo louder than footsteps. It is not merely the absence of sound; it is the presence of absence.
