This took me a few sittings to get through because I could feel myself recoiling from the truth. It’s so raw and so real. Thank you for finding the words to articulate this and for sharing it.
i’ve felt that, being praised for being “strong” when really i just stopped needing, stopped reacting, because it felt safer. the way you described returning to the version of yourself who felt. it made me think about how often i’ve left parts of myself behind just to survive☹️
if you ever have the time, i’d be really grateful if you checked out my latest post too.🫶🏻
“you can change everything on the surface, your routine, your wardrobe, your tone in relationships, the way you speak about the past, and still be orbiting the same old wound, just at a different altitude.”
“sometimes i think about how many selves i’ve had to outgrow just to stay in my own body”
“you can wear peace like perfume and still carry panic in your bones.”
“real healing doesn’t ask you to forget who you were. it asks you to return to them.”
"...because that’s what healing is: not the absence of pain, but the presence of you."
I could go on plucking golden threads; your tapestry is life-giving. Am I ever so delighted to have found you Lina.
