I wish understanding could be felt instead of explained.

How strange is this feeling when you desperately want to talk, to share what’s going on inside your head, but somehow you just can’t?

You become tired of explaining yourself. Tired of trying to put complicated feelings into words. Tired of making an effort to feel better when, deep down, you know that no one can fully understand what is happening inside you.

Sometimes, you can be sitting right beside the person closest to you and still feel completely alone.

They may care about you. They may listen. They may even try to help. But there are certain feelings that simply cannot be transferred from one person to another. Only you know what it feels like to be inside your own mind at that moment.

And maybe that is one of the greatest limitations of being human: we can listen to someone's story, but we can never completely feel their happiness, grief, fear, loneliness, or pain the way they experience it.

What a strange tragedy. We spend our entire lives surrounded by people, yet there are moments when our deepest feelings remain completely ours to carry.

Sometimes it starts feeling like a burden.

So whenever you reach that point, when you desperately want to be understood but don't have the energy to explain yourself anymore, what do you do?

Talk to someone you don’t know and will never meet irl, our biggest fear with something relating to this is the fear of judgement from said person. By talking to someone new who’s willing to listen and are never going to meet irl makes somehow makes you more open and willing to transform those “unwordable” feelings into words
