be fully present.

 

we live in a world where presence is becoming luxury. we sit wit ppl, but our mind r elsewhere - replyin msges, checking updates, scrolling thru distractions we cant rmbr 5 mins later. and all the while, someone across from us is quietly waiting to be seen.

u learnt dis the hard way: being there is not jst about being physically close. it is about putting the world at pause, looking someone in the eyes, and choosing to stay - right there, in dat bloody moment, wit them. no phone in the hand. no rehearsed advice. jst ur fcukin full presence.

bcoz y? bcoz most ppl r not lookin for solutions. they dun wanna be 'fixed'. they jst want to feel like they matter. they jst want to feel important. like someone notices the way their voice trembles when the speak. the way their eyes dart away when they r tryin not to fall apart. the way they smile.. even when it does not quite reach their eyes. and u knw it aint rite.

but when u giv someone dat space - when u really see them - it does somethg. it tells them: u r not invisible here. and in a world that moves too fast, dat kinda stillness can feel like shelter. do u knw wat i mean?

so the next time someone sit across from u - put ur bloody phone away. close dat mental tabs. look up. listen the fcuk up. let them be the only person in the room. it wont make noises. but it will make a difference.

and maybe - i said, maybe - dat will be the quiet they've been longing for, all along.
