🌧️✨ Sometimes, moving on feels like trying to escape a storm that’s been brewing for so long. I find myself frozen in fear, haunted by the shadows of past abuse that whisper lies about my worth. For so long, I’ve held onto relationships that were built on fear and control, believing that silence was my only option. I’ve been told I’m crazy, that leaving is wrong, and now, as I grow older, the weight of these words feels heavier. But deep down, I know I deserve more.
