Leaving an abusive relationship is never easy.
But leaving while the entire world is watching?
That’s a sacred act of radical self-care.

When everyone has an opinion.
When the abuser is beloved, powerful, or charming.
When your pain becomes “content,” debated by strangers like it’s a reality show…
Still, you choose you.

That choice?
It’s not drama.
It’s not betrayal.
It’s not weakness.
It’s self-preservation. It’s wisdom. It’s courage.

It takes everything to say:
“Even if they misunderstand me, I will protect myself.”
“Even if they mock me, I will walk away.”
“Even if I lose followers, friends, or familiar comforts—I will not lose myself.”

When the world is watching, they see the headlines.
But you see the little girl inside of you.
And you tell her:
We are not staying in harm, not for anyone’s approval. Not for anyone’s comfort. Not even for applause.

🕊️ Affirmation:

I choose me—even when the crowd is loud. Even when the lies are louder. I choose my peace. My safety. My life.
