There's something profoundly beautiful about the weight of unspoken feelings—and something equally transformative about choosing to share them. At Say Still, we say "Your Words Mean to Me," which is at the heart of this belief.
Our postcard, "every glance at you, a picture. in my mind, a house of picture frames," is meant to evoke the feeling of keeping someone in your heart, no matter the distance. It’s a way to express that by simply being in your life, someone has helped you see a future you might not have seen otherwise. Those we hold dear become part of our internal architecture, whether they're near or far. Sometimes, just by existing in our world, another person helps us see futures we couldn't imagine alone, feel depths we didn't know we possessed.
It's not just about romantic love; it's about the courage to let someone know they've changed your inner landscape. When we tell someone how they make us feel, we're not just lightening our own shoulders—we're creating space for connection to flourish.
At Say Still, we believe emotions shouldn’t be carried alone. When you speak your heart—whether through a whisper, a letter, or a glance—you offer mental health support not just to yourself, but to the person listening. You create space for healing, for connection, for therapeutic support that doesn’t always need a couch or a clinic.
Sharing our feelings is a crucial part of mental wellness. It's an act that can be a powerful part of our self-care routines. We hope you find our cards at a comforting stationery shop, like Brooklyn's Yours Truly, which also sells evocative and comforting items. Perhaps you can even incorporate this idea into a Mary Ellen Copeland's WRAP framework—a way to share your feelings and proactively maintain your well-being.
