Some Lessons Don’t Come in Words
I used to think if I couldn’t explain it, it didn’t count.
That if I couldn’t put it into words, then it wasn’t real.
But some of the biggest lessons I’ve ever learned…
were never spoken.
They came in glances.
In pauses.
In the energy between sentences that no one finished.
They came in silence that made me uncomfortable.
In eye contact that held more than language could.
In gut feelings that carried more truth than any explanation ever would.
And I almost missed them—because I was so busy looking for meaning in what was said,
instead of what was felt.
We live in a world built on words.
We try to talk our way into understanding.
We write things out. We debate. We explain, re-explain, reframe.
But sometimes, words get in the way.
Sometimes, they’re a distraction.
A translation that dulls the original signal.
I’ve had moments where someone said all the “right” things...
but everything in me knew they weren’t being real.
Their body told the truth. Their energy told the truth.
But their words were polished and hollow.
and yet, I felt completely seen.
It took me a long time to realize that intuition doesn’t always speak in sentences.
It listens between them.
Some of the most intuitive people I’ve met don’t say much.
They’re not flashy. They’re not loud.
They just… notice.
They sit with you and feel the tone of your story shift.
They watch your hands when you talk about what matters.
They catch the breath you hold when something hits too close.
They don’t need you to explain.
Because they’re not listening with their ears.
They’re listening with their presence.
That kind of listening has taught me a lot.
It’s helped me see past what people say and into what they’re carrying.
It’s taught me to stop interrupting silence just because it feels uncomfortable.
It’s shown me that some of the deepest truths I’ll ever feel… don’t come with captions.
They just show up, quietly, and ask to be honored.
And if I’m too busy trying to label them, I’ll miss what they’re here to teach me.
There are moments I’ll never be able to fully explain.
Moments where I knew someone was hurting before they said anything.
Moments where I felt a shift in direction that didn’t make sense logically, but I followed it anyway.
Moments where the lesson didn’t show up in a sentence, but in a feeling so clear it didn’t need translation.
Those are the moments I trust the most now.
Because they came unfiltered.
Because they came without performance.
Because they came from somewhere deeper than thinking.
So if you’ve ever had a moment that didn’t make sense but felt true…
If you’ve ever sat with someone and felt a shift without needing to say a word…
If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation thinking they didn’t say it, but I know...
You’re not imagining it.
You’re not too sensitive.
You’re not overreaching.
You’re intuitive.
And sometimes the clearest lessons arrive in the space where words fall short.
Learn to feel that space.
Learn to trust it.
Learn to listen differently.
That’s where the real message lives.
And it’s always speaking…
even when nothing is being said.
And if you hear something stir—something simple, something soft...
Don’t dismiss it.
That’s where it starts.
That’s where it always starts.
