“She corrected her life quietly, one honest decision at a time.”

…”…The woman who was praised for being “so mature” was often just a little girl carrying emotional weight that was never hers.

She learned to attune to everyone else’s needs before she had the chance to know her own.

She became excellent at reading the room, because no one ever stopped to read her.

This is the hidden cost of being the “gifted child”:

You shine on command, but ache in the shadows.

You perform strength, because it’s applauded. Because it’s not safe to be soft.

Sovereignty begins when you stop betraying your inner world to be seen as “put together.”

It begins when you choose to feel what you once had to bury to survive.

Your truth is worth recovering.

This is the work:

To love the girl who had no choice.

To become the woman who finally does.
