Healing Isn't About Becoming Softer. It's About Remembering You're Dangerous

You didn’t survive all that just to be made small again.

Healing isn’t about smiling wider.
It’s not about forgiving faster.
It’s not about learning to sit quietly in rooms that once broke you.

Healing is about walking back into the world knowing you survived what should’ve killed you —
and not needing anyone to understand why you carry yourself different now.
