Some of the most important things in our lives are like the diaphragm.
Quiet. Constant. Almost invisible.
It moves with every breath, doing its work so faithfully that we rarely think about it. We notice the air entering our lungs, but not the muscle making that breath possible.
People can be like that too.
Some remain beneath the obvious parts of our lives supporting us without spectacle, absorbing pressure without announcement, making ordinary days possible in ways we never stop to calculate.
We mistake their consistency for permanence.
Their effort becomes so familiar that it starts looking effortless.
And then one day, something changes.
Their presence weakens.
Their support disappears.
And suddenly, what once seemed ordinary reveals how essential it had always been.
Perhaps that is one of the cruellest habits of human nature:
we are exceptionally good at noticing what is missing,
and remarkably poor at appreciating what was quietly functioning all along.
Some people never ask to be the centre of your life.
They simply become the diaphragm of it
unseen beneath everything else,
moving silently through every difficult moment,
and making sure you can still breathe🌺🌺
