Sometimes people think silence keeps the peace.
But silence doesn’t stop harm , it protects it.
Abuse survives in secrecy.Power grows where truth is buried.And many people stay quiet not because they’re weak, but because they’re scared, unsure, or alone.
This is your reminder:
You don’t owe silence to protect someone who hurt you.You deserve safety more than someone deserves comfort.
Even speaking to one safe person is a beginning.Even naming it privately is a step back toward yourself.
Let’s build spaces where honesty feels safer than hiding 🤍
