People love to say, My gut never lies," and wear it like a crown, proud of knowing what's right and what's wrong before anyone else does. But the truth is, intuition isn't some magical power it's protection. It's the mind remembering every hurt, every betrayal, every moment it had to be cautious, and keeping you alert so the same pain doesn't happen again. That feeling you trust so deeply? It's not a gift. It's the echo of old wounds, scars you never asked for, dressed up as wisdom. Every warning it gives, every uneasy feeling in your chest, every hesitation before a choice it's your soul trying to keep itself safe. And while it may feel like a burden at times, it's also proof of resilience, proof that even after heartbreak and mistakes, the heart learns, the mind remembers, and the spirit refuses to break the same way twice. The strongest people aren't the ones who never get hurt they're the ones who survive it, and come out wiser, braver, and unshakable.
