EP 10: The Silent Battles We Wage

Living in a society that’s incessantly trying to advocate, solving personal problems through sheer self-reliance and independence, it can sometimes feel awkward, even shameful to ask for help, and to want support. 

We end up fighting in invisible battlefields alone, feeling disheartened over the towering mountain of issues, we feel we should be solving alone. We wear masks of smiles, laughter, and busywork, to hide the scars, and the cuts, and the bleeding. We foolishly hope that if we pretend long enough, maybe the wounds would cease to exist. We drown ourselves with positivity, thinking it’s the cure, but all it does is numb the pain we all know is still there. Its building, bubbling and looming, and we’re afraid that if we finally open up, that the emotions would be too overwhelming, and too powerful for us to control. There, in that valley of conflicting thoughts, fears and silent cries, we fight our silent battles.

This episode is for those of you, who feel alone, for those of you who have been hiding long enough.  Let’s sit down and talk about you scars and your wounds, and your secret fears. I know you think that this battle is yours, but you don’t need to fight it alone.
