Reclaiming My Voice and My Self

The past few days have been emotionally overwhelming, draining my heart and soul. I've felt like I'm lost in a sea of uncertainty, unable to trust anyone, not even myself.

Grief has been my constant companion, as I miss my daughter more than words can express. I wish I could give her the years I've been granted, a million times over.

The pain has been physical, too, leaving me nauseous and without appetite. It's like my body is protesting the weight of my emotions.

I've felt like I'm screaming, but no one is listening. It's like my words are falling on deaf ears. I've come to realize that some people will only hear me when I stop speaking. So, I've made a decision: I'm done repeating myself.

From now on, if you didn't hear or understand me the first time, that's okay. I'm not going to keep trying to convince you. I'm done allowing others to manipulate me, to gaslight me into doubting myself.

Last year, I was confident and self-assured. I didn't let doubt creep in and change my perspective. That's the person I'm going back to. I'm reclaiming my voice, my self, and my confidence.

I'm learning from my mistakes and doing better. I'm rising up, stronger and more resilient than before. I'm taking back control of my life, my emotions, and my well-being.

. . .No More Repeating Myself

I'm done trying to convince others of my worth, my feelings, and my experiences. From now on, I'm focusing on myself, my healing, and my growth.

If you're like me, tired of being ignored, dismissed, or manipulated, I see you. I hear you. Let's rise up together, reclaiming our voices, our selves, and our confidence.
