The Truth They Overlooked
In reality, my soul never fully gave up. Even through everything I’ve endured, I continue to handle each situation with grace, even with those who may never understand my actions or intentions. I’ve carried the silent grief for the parts of me that were overlooked, dismissed, or judged. But I’m done being silent. I have a voice, and I will speak my truth. You were never here to destroy me, but to help me rebuild. While trying to keep others whole, I was quietly falling apart. I struggled to stay afloat while pouring into everyone but myself. There were moments I lost sight of who I was. I realize that I am living proof that there’s beauty in the unknown and strength in every step forward. This is a letter to the soul I silenced, the strength I forgot I had, and the woman I’m becoming. Both my brokenness and resilience are valid. Both deserve to be seen, honored, and loved just as anybody else going through it.
