This painting challenges the discomfort that often meets conversations about trauma, mental health, and lived experience. The title echoes a phrase many people hear when their healing extends beyond others’ expectations, revealing society’s preference for silence over sustained understanding. Through bold colour and layered abstraction, the work celebrates the courage it takes to keep speaking, even when the world grows tired of listening. It is a reminder that healing is not linear, nor does it exist for the comfort of others.
