After abuse, it’s common to be met with silence when you’re hurting — and then judgment when you begin to glow.

Labels like “victimhood” or “victim mentality” are thrown around to dismiss your truth. But you are not here to carry their projections.

You are here to rise, to reclaim joy, and to honor the women who never received their flowers but were flowers themselves.

These 7 affirmations are a reminder: your voice matters, your survival is brilliance, and your glow is sacred.
