They said I was too emotional.
Too stubborn.
Too much of a handful.
But maybe I was just whole in a world that didn’t know what to do with someone who refused to shatter quietly.
See, I spent years believing the story they told about me — the one where I was the problem, the one who needed fixing, the one who had to shrink just to fit into their version of love, or loyalty, or family. But here’s the plot twist: I’m not broken. I’m the author. And I’m rewriting this whole damn thing.
The Old Narrative: “You’re Too Damaged to Heal”
That’s what trauma does — it traps you in a rerun.
You replay moments like scenes you can’t skip.
You start to believe your scars mean you’re unworthy of softness.
But healing isn’t about erasing what happened. It’s about flipping the script.
About saying, yeah, I’ve been through it — but it’s not going to define me forever.
You can’t heal if you’re still clinging to the old version of yourself that was built on their lies. The “you” they created was never the full story. It was the edited version. The one cut to make them look like the hero.
You? You’re the comeback arc.
You’re the character who walks out of the wreckage barefoot, bleeding, but still standing.
Still choosing peace over pleasing.
Still writing.
The Rewrite: “I’m the Author Now”
You know what happens when you stop letting people narrate your life?
You start to hear your own voice again — loud, clear, unbothered.
That’s the power of personal growth — it’s not all journaling and crystals and perfect routines. Sometimes, it’s crying in the car, blocking a number, or realizing silence is your closure.
You don’t owe anyone a front-row seat to your healing just because they helped break you.
This is your healing narrative — one built on truth, boundaries, and big energy. The kind that doesn’t ask permission anymore.
You’re not rewriting to pretend it never happened — you’re rewriting because you finally see it for what it was.
Every lie they told about you — “ungrateful,” “lazy,” “crazy,” “hard to love” — was projection. Every label they gave you was camouflage for their own guilt.
You’re not the villain. You’re the voiceover that finally says, “Nah. That’s not my story anymore.”
The Work: Healing Ain’t Pretty, But It’s Powerful
Let’s be real — healing isn’t some soft-focus movie montage. It’s messy.
It’s rewriting old habits.
It’s calling yourself out and calling your power back.
It’s forgiving the version of you who thought survival was the same thing as love.
That’s overcoming trauma — not just surviving it, but understanding it. Seeing how it shaped you — and still choosing not to let it steer the wheel.
You’re allowed to evolve beyond the versions of yourself that others were comfortable with. You’re allowed to grow out of the cages they called “home.”
Let them talk.
Let them misremember.
You’ve got a whole new book to write. And spoiler alert — this one ends with peace.
Final Chapter: No More Broken Narratives
Repeat after me —
I’m not broken.
I’m building.
I’m blooming.
I’m becoming.
And every word I write from here on out —
is mine.
