People think healing is soft. But healing is violent. Because nothing is scarier than waking up one day and realizing... your whole personality was just a trauma response. That your calm was actually suppression. Your indepen dence was built on not being able to rely on anyone. Your perfectionism was just fear in disguise. Healing means grieving the version of you who did what she had to just to feel safe. And letting her go is the hardest part.
