Not everyone wants to see you healed.
Some people were only comfortable when you were quiet, unsure, still bleeding.

Your pain made you easier to control.
Your guilt made you easier to convince.
Your confusion made you easier to keep small.

And now that you’re healing?
Now that you’re asking questions?
Now that you’ve stopped blaming yourself and started reclaiming your power?

They’re uncomfortable.
Because healed you is discerning.
Healed you is bold.
Healed you isn’t bending over backwards to prove your worth anymore.

There are people who only knew how to relate to you through your brokenness.
And when you started rising?
When you started building boundaries, speaking up, walking away?

They called you mean.
They called you cold.
They called you different.

But you’re not mean.
You’re clear.
You’re awake.
You’re done.

Let them be uncomfortable. Let them mislabel you.

Your healing was never about pleasing the people who profited from your silence.
It was always about returning to your power.
Your peace.
Your wholeness.

Let today be a reminder:
Your healing is sacred.
Your healing is protective.
Your healing is your revolution.
