Rewriting the Words I Once Used to Survive

These words were written by a version of me who didn’t yet know what I know now.

She wrote from instinct, from pain she couldn’t name, from feelings she hadn’t learned how to carry safely. I don’t rewrite her to correct her — I rewrite her to understand her.

There was truth in those lines, even if the language was sharp.

There was honesty, even if it hurt to read.

This isn’t about erasing who I was.

It’s about meeting her with more care than she had back then.
