Some moments don’t end when the scene does.
They linger and shape us.
They cost something to carry.

is the loaded emotional weight we carry when taking everything said and done like an arrow into our own hearts.

Learning to put down what was never yours is the real start of happiness. I’ve seen that most people aren’t unhappy from lack of joy, they’re weighed down by what they were never meant to carry. #drelligan #lifesinrhythm #emotionalweight #healingjourney #mentalhealthinsight

My chest holds a graveyard of words I can't speak, each one a stone on a collapsing wall. Sometimes, the bravest act is just to stand here, letting the silence scream the truths my voice cannot. It's a heavy kind of peace, this quiet war within.

Lost 100 lbs—and the weight you don’t see. I let go of shame, toxic ties, and old identities. This isn’t just a body transformation. It’s a mindset shift. Healing starts on the inside. #100PoundsDown #MindsetShift #EmotionalWeight #HealingNotJustLosing #SkyLife
