Some signals arrive as distance —
not absence, just a softer kind of nearness.
You don’t always hear it.
You feel it shift the atmosphere.
The most honest connections
never interrupt. They wait.

🖤 The Quiet Side of Being a Man
⌘ background mode
Some days, being a man means choosing silence
over the urge to explain.
I protect more by listening
than by stepping forward.
My presence doesn’t need a spotlight.
It needs to be honest — even in the dark.
Not seen. Still holding.
