Despite hidden wounds and a world that can be ableist and unkind, my existence is powerful, worthy, and filled with purpose.
There are parts of your story that only you know—the silent battles, the invisible pain, the healing that has happened in the dark. In a world that often only believes what it can see, the strength required to keep going with hidden wounds is extraordinary.
You have adapted, survived, and grown in environments not made to honor your needs. That doesn’t diminish you — it reveals the unmatched courage and resilience within you. You are living proof that a person can be deeply impacted by trauma and still be deeply impactful in the world.
Your worth is not conditional.Your purpose is not diminished by struggle.Your power does not depend on being understood.
You are here for a reason — a living testament to what persistence, heart, and spirit can create in the face of erasure.
