You don’t have to pretend you’re okay.
You don’t have to smile through the pain or keep performing for people who never really see you.
Maybe today was heavy.
Maybe your heart feels like it’s unraveling.
Maybe you’re tired of trying to fix what keeps breaking.

But hear this:
You are not your mistakes.
You are not your trauma.
You are not too far gone.

Even in the dark, you are becoming.
Even in the silence, something in you is still alive and reaching for healing.
That matters.
That means something.

You don’t have to have all the answers to take the next step.
Start with one thing: Be honest with yourself. Let the healing begin there.
