Silence

“Silence at the proper season is wisdom, and better than any speech.”
— Plutarch

I had to silence myself for a moment. I felt like there was too much noise going on around me that I just had to remain silent. No, this is a sign of me having a mental health crisis. It’s more of a theory of this one thought: how can I balance the unbalanced areas in my life? To figure out how to do that, I had to remain quiet.

During my quietness, I could really hear what was going on in some regions of my life. I connected with my dad within those areas; there were unresolved issues. To bring some type of balance, I had to begin resolving the problems. It doesn’t matter if it’s with an individual person or not; those issues have to be fixed to gain a sense of harmony and peace.

Protect Your Mental Health

Having unresolved issues suck. It is a draining feeling that remains in the back of your mind. You feel anxious whenever you encounter a specific situation or a particular type of person. It’s a feeling that drains you mentally and wreaks havoc in your life. And it’s an added pressure that I have to get rid of. As I stated in one of my previous blogs, I have to keep stress minimum.

So, I have begun the work to fix as many unresolved issues as possible so that the manually created chaotic chapter of my life can finally be closed. Don’t get me wrong, I understand there are some issues in life that will never be resolved, and I’m okay with that. I just need to give it my all to keep life simple and just for myself and hope that the future brings better and brighter days.

I’m WhyNetta—the woman behind Life With No Breaks.

I didn’t set out to build a platform. I set out to survive, to heal, and eventually, to understand myself more honestly.

For many years, my life revolved around being strong for everyone else—raising children, holding things together, and navigating relationships that required me to shrink in order to keep the peace. After experiencing narcissistic abuse and the unraveling that followed, I reached a point where continuing as I was simply wasn’t an option. Healing became a necessity, not a trend.

Life With No Breaks grew out of that season—not from perfection, but from reflection. It became a place where I could process real life in real time: parenting, rebuilding stability, breaking generational cycles, managing fear and faith side by side, and learning how to choose myself without guilt. Writing and speaking became tools for clarity, accountability, and growth—not just for me, but for others walking similar paths.

Today, I approach life with more intention and less urgency. I believe in growth that’s honest, faith that’s grounded, and healing that doesn’t require performance. I’m still learning, still rebuilding, and still choosing better—one decision at a time.

This space is a reflection of that journey.
