Sometimes the feeling isn’t complicated.
You don’t want advice. You don’t want explanations.
You just want someone here.
Not necessarily talking. Not necessarily fixing anything.
Just another presence in the room that makes the silence feel less empty.
Humans rarely need constant conversation.
What we often want is the quiet reassurance that we are not experiencing the moment alone.
Wanting someone nearby isn’t a weakness.
It’s one of the most ordinary and human wishes there is.
