Ever notice how the whole family tiptoes around the same person?
⠀
Sometimes “keeping the peace” means handing the loudest person all the power,
while everyone else is expected to stay quiet.
⠀
But real peace doesn’t come from walking on eggshells
or tiptoeing around dysfunction.
⠀
It doesn’t come from silencing your own needs
just to soothe someone else’s chaos.
⠀
It comes when boundaries are respected,
when harmony is shared,
not forced. ⚖️
⠀
Because if you’re constantly comforting the person who causes the most pain,
that’s not peace,
it’s quiet at a cost. 🕯️
⠀
And eventually,
someone’s silence becomes too heavy to carry.
