You’ve expressed yourself as best you know how. through actions woven into the rhythm of everyday life.
But over time, those actions become routine. And what was once an expression becomes invisible.

When actions go unseen, it can feel like you’re not being heard at all.
But maybe the problem isn’t expression.
Maybe it’s recognition.

In Forrest Gump, Forrest appears disconnected from those around him.
His peers, and even those closest to him, often don’t recognize what he’s expressing. Sometimes, they don’t even see him.

And yet, he is deeply connected.

Through his actions; toward his mother, his fellow soldiers, Jenny, his coworkers, even strangers, Forrest expresses something consistent: presence, loyalty, and love.

He doesn’t explain himself. He shows up.

And over time, the world responds.
People are drawn to him.
Not because he speaks clearly, but because he acts clearly.

Much of how we express ourselves happens through action.
Small, repeated moments; taking out the trash, picking up coffee, being there when it matters.

But when these acts become routine, they stop being noticed.

We focus on what’s said…when, where, how.
But showing up is a form of communication.

And often, those quiet, repeated actions stay with us far longer than anything spoken.

Reflection

We all experience moments of feeling unseen.

But what if the question isn’t just whether others understand us,
but how we’re expressing ourselves in ways we’ve stopped noticing?

It wasn’t Forrest who struggled to communicate.
It’s that his way of expressing was always there; clear, consistent, and easy to overlook.

Pay attention to the stories that stay with you.
They are not random.

They are pointing to something unresolved… or something waiting.
