You built yourself for war.
For chaos.
For survival.
You learned how to read a room before anyone spoke.
How to hold it all together when everything was falling apart.
How to make yourself small so you wouldn’t be a target.
And it worked. You made it.
But now?
Now that same armor is suffocating you.
Now the instincts that once kept you safe are keeping you stuck.
Now your mind is screaming for freedom, but your body only knows how to fight.
Here’s the truth: You don’t need more willpower. You need to meet the version of you that’s still in survival mode.
Not to kill them off.
Not to shame them.
But to show them… it’s finally safe to live.
