Humanity is complicated. My life carries layers most folks will never see.

I lost my voice for almost four years. I walked through divorce and watched the life I believed in crumble. I was lied on and lied to. I carried broken trust and:

Fear of loss: the fear of losing people I love or watching what I value slip away.

Fear of gain: the fear that success or new opportunities could bring new responsibilities or disappointment.

Fear of loving again: fearing my heart could be broken.
Fear of trusting again: knowing trust can be stolen.

Fear of acceptance: the worry that no matter what I do I will never truly belong.

I faced betrayal, abandonment, rejection, disappointment, grief, and the exhaustion of always having to be strong while feeling completely alone.
There were moments I did not want to be around anymore.

Healing is not about becoming someone new. It is about remembering who *** said I was before the pain tried to rewrite my identity. Before the silence. Before the heartbreak. Before the lies. Before the brokenness.

I am a masterpiece. A beautiful piece of art. Some get me. Some do not. Some can handle my processing. Others cannot. I am not here to prove anything to anyone. I am still a work in progress. Some are strong enough to join me. Others were never meant to be in my story.

The cycle of self-explanation can be exhausting. There is really no need for me to explain my why behind the what. I'm still learning. Growing. Cultivating. I cannot control how others act or what they believe, but I can control how it makes me feel, how I receive it, and how I respond.

I am certainly no victim. I have the power to rewire my mind through reflection, prayer, renewing my thoughts with truth, and aligning my actions with ***’s Word.
Romans 12:2 says, “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” In Christ, I am perfect.

Every story is still being written by ***. Pain can try to define us, but healing is finding your way back to the truth He placed in you. ❤️💯👑
