Healing is not becoming untouched. It is learning how to live honestly with what touched you.
Welcome
This is the part after survival stops being enough. The part where you begin asking who you are now, what you still want, what you refuse to carry forward, and whether the life ahead can belong to you instead of the things that happened behind you.
Nothing here promises a straight line. Healing doubles back. Becoming gets messy. Some days are breakthroughs. Some are simply proof that you stayed.
