I always thought screams were loud. Now that I understand life a little better, I see that screams are sometimes quieter than the faintest sounds.

Passive aggressive comments; Status updates; Attention seeking; Longings made known; innocent projections of pain; long searches without finding — all forms of screams that often go unheard.

You’re screaming for help and you don’t know it; sinking in life and thinking you’re just going about your normal daily business but because I understand life a little better, I see that your screams are quieter than the faintest sounds. With every passive aggressive comment, ever status update, every attention-seeking stunt, every longing made known, every projection of pain and every search without finding, you are screaming. Ignorantly hoping that someone who understands life could hear.
