Reading Trauma Mama: Velvet & Taboo
Where the quiet woman writes dangerously.
There was a time when I carried everything — everyone else’s emotions, expectations, disappointments — as if they were my responsibility.
Healing has slowly taught me how to set those things down.
Not with anger. Not with resentment. Just with awareness. I’ve started to notice what actually belongs to me and what never did. What I can influence and what I can simply release.
Letting go doesn’t mean I stopped caring.
It means I started caring about myself too.
