The Weight

Friendship promises safety, understanding, and loyalty. Yet, when trust falters, it leaves a hollow space filled with questions. Why do I hesitate to share my true thoughts? Why do I hold back parts of myself? These questions echo in the silence between conversations, in the moments when vulnerability feels risky.


One might recall a time when a secret shared in confidence was met with betrayal, or when support was promised but never delivered. These experiences carve deep grooves in the heart, making it harder to believe in the good intentions of others. The pain of broken trust is not just about the act itself but the shattering of hope that someone will stand by you without judgment or harm.
