I heal out loud
because I suffered
so long in silence

is trying to take you down?

they come from survival,
and still find a way to bloom.

choosing softness

They live underneath it—quiet, invisible, still aching in places no one thinks to look.
Just because you can’t see the scars doesn’t mean they aren’t still healing.

Disability.
Not a different kind of person.
Not a distant group.
Just ordinary lives

A refusal to let loss be reduced to paperwork, headlines, or silence.
Read slowly.💜
