The Breaking Before the Becoming

It didn't happen all at once.

There wasn't a single moment where the sky cracked open and I

knew my life would change forever. No dramatic ending. Just a

slow unraveling—so quiet, I barely noticed it until I was standing

in the middle of the wreckage.

"Our scars are not signs of weakness, but marks of strength,

proving that we survived the journey to becoming our truest

selves." – Laura Lee
