At some point, your body stops whispering and starts teaching.
Heart flutters.
Chronic fatigue.
A doctor raising an eyebrow at your blood pressure.
A cough that refuses to be ignored.
It feels like betrayal at first.
But often, it’s guidance.
Slow down.
Handle the grief you’ve been avoiding.
Stop pretending you’re fine.
Let someone take care of you for once.
Make yourself a priority, not an afterthought.
Your body isn’t breaking down.
It’s breaking through—trying to get your attention before life gets louder.
Listen.
Because it’s speaking from love, not weakness.
