Changing the Question Changed My Life
For a long time, my mind lived in survival mode.
Every thought seemed to begin with fear. What if this falls apart? What if I can’t handle it? What if I make the wrong choice again?
My inner dialogue was always scanning for danger, disappointment, or loss. And honestly, after everything I had been through, that made sense.
Survival teaches you to brace. Grief teaches you to expect the ground to give way.
