If you are listening today and carrying your own story, please know this: nothing that happened to you is your fault, and nothing about your experience diminishes your worth. You are not alone, even if the world has made you feel unseen or unheard. There is no right way to heal, no perfect moment to speak, and no expectation placed on you here. What you deserve is safety, gentleness, and support that meets you without judgment.
If today’s conversation was heavy, take a moment to slow your breathing, let your body settle, and remind yourself that you have already survived more than most people will ever know. Your story matters. Your voice matters. And there are people and organisations ready to stand with you at your pace, in your time.
