Mental Health

Stand Still, Then Rise
You came to me in silence, Not broken — just tired. Like something inside you Had been carrying too much for too long. You didn’t ask for saving.

I Loved You… But Never Told You
There was a love I never spoke, Not because it wasn’t real— But because some feelings grow deeper When they’re not forced to be revealed.

'Sisu' originates from the word ‘sisus,’ which in Finnish literally means ‘guts’ or ‘intestines.’ Some say the word ‘sisu’ explains Finland, at least the Finland of some time ago.
