There’s a moment in healing when you realize you’ve become the person you once needed most.It doesn’t happen overnight — it happens slowly, through boundaries built, lessons learned, and the gentle decision to stop abandoning yourself.
For me, it started on an ordinary morning. I was making tea, journaling, and caught myself offering patience to my thoughts instead of...
