Between the lies and the truth, there is a quiet place where healing begins!
Sometimes, the truth is too heavy to carry.
So we rewrite the story, not out of malice, but out of survival.
We often convince ourselves that we were simply the victims of someone else’s choices or outside circumstances.
That things didn’t work out because they failed us.
That if only they had acted differently, everything would have been okay.
That we did everything right… and the pain we carry isn’t ours to own.
And maybe some of that is true.
But when the full story is hidden under layers of self-soothing lies, it becomes harder to heal.
Because healing doesn't come from blaming.
It comes from clarity.
The Lie That Protects… and Traps
Let’s be honest, sometimes, we lie to ourselves to cope.
After a divorce, it’s easier to say, “They destroyed everything,” than to admit we saw the red flags and stayed because we were afraid of being alone.
After losing a loved one, we might tell ourselves, “I should’ve done more,” holding onto guilt as a way to stay connected to them.
After losing a job, it might feel safer to say, “They never appreciated me,” rather than face the deep fear of inadequacy or the realization that we had outgrown the role and ignored the signs.
These inner narratives feel comforting at first.
They protect us from pain.
But slowly, they become chains, tightening every time we avoid the deeper truth.
And over time, the lie that once soothed us becomes the very thing that keeps us stuck.
What Clarity Really Feels Like
Clarity isn’t harsh.
It isn’t about blame, toward others or yourself.
It’s about wholeness.
It’s being brave enough to hold the truth in your hands and say:
“Yes, they hurt me… and I also lost myself trying to please them.”
“Yes, life changed unexpectedly… and I didn’t know how to ask for support.”
“Yes, I was wronged… and I silenced my own needs for far too long.”
Clarity is like turning on the light in a dark room. It might shock your eyes at first, but eventually… you can see clearly.
And what you see gives you the power to choose differently.
Healing Starts When the Illusion Ends
Healing happens when you stop needing to protect the version of yourself that never made mistakes.
When you can say, “I didn’t know better back then, but now I do.”
That’s when growth begins.
You stop waiting for others to take responsibility.
You stop looking backward, wishing things had been different.
And you start looking inward, with love, honesty, and compassion.
This is where you reclaim your voice.
Your power,
Your peace,
..and your happiness.
Your Invitation to Let Go
If you’ve been carrying a story that doesn’t sit right in your heart, this is your sign.
Let it go.
Let go of the illusion that blaming someone else will set you free.
Let go of the guilt that’s not yours to carry.
Let go of the need to be perfect to deserve healing.
And instead, step into your truth.
Not because it’s easy. But because it’s the only path to peace, growth, and real, lasting freedom.
….And if you're finding it hard to do this on your own, I’m here to help you through it.
