When help Hides: A story of reaching out and the unseen wounds

When Khayati, a bright woman in her 30s, finally found the courage to seek support for her hidden scars, she wasn't prepared for the silence that would greet her.

In a bustling café in the heart of a nameless city, Maya, a kind but frustrated woman, learns a life-altering truth: kindness is no excuse for self-sacrifice. Amidst coffee cups and conversations, she meets Alex, an unlikely friend who helps her navigate the rocky terrain of self-respect, challenging society’s warped ideas about kindness, sacrifice, and silent suffering. "Kindness is not about letting people walk over you." Now, those words would have been music to my ears... if I’d heard them back then. But like most epiphanies, it came a little late for me.
