Not every pain needs to be shown to the world, and not every problem needs to be explained. Sometimes, continuing to build our lives while others are trying to break us is enough.

Some friendships reveal themselves at the tables people choose. Others, in the silence when there is nothing left to take. And then there are the rare ones who simply stay.

Some inherit names. Some inherit fortunes. Some inherit kingdoms. I inherited them.

When the world is loud, you hear the words I never speak.

Every prayer you said alone built the spine inside my bones.

Some inherit names. Some inherit fortunes. I inherited the strength to endure.
