You’ve captured the quiet truce between survival and sincerity. Neither voice is villain here; both are necessary muscles of the same heart. The stillness isn’t escape...it’s labor, honest and exhausting.
This dialogue feels less like a split and more like learning how to stay whole.
Oh wow… this felt less like reading a post and more like overhearing a conversation happening inside my own head. The dialogue between the part that shows up for the world and the part that sits quietly holding the deeper questions… you captured that tension so honestly, it almost made me exhale in recognition.
This line especially stopped me: “You’re the one who smiles when we’re drowning.”
I think so many of us live in that duality, functioning on the outside while something much quieter and heavier is being processed beneath the surface.
And I loved where you brought it, not choosing one self over the other, but letting them work together: “I’ll get us there.” “And I’ll make sure we’re actually present when we arrive.”
That felt like integration… like wholeness, not conflict.
Thank you for putting language to an inner experience many of us feel but rarely articulate so clearly. Truly beautifully written.
Love your work 🫶

Contradicting parts in ourselves. That’s a thing I noticed about me, too, sometimes.
The urge to achieve something more on a day while wondering what first or feeling a need to rest.
Recently I feel more mindful and aligned though.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, Daniela. I really appreciate it. 💙🙏
