The Moment everything Shifted
The Shift
There’s a moment I keep coming back to –
a sentence, a silence, a look –
and suddenly, everything felt different.
You know those moments?
The ones that don’t break you publicly, they wreck you quietly. They settle in your chest like a weight you didn’t ask to carry.
This was mine.
The Sentence That Wrecked Me
I was sitting in a space where I should have felt safe.
And then came the words that cracked something open:
“I’m sorry I hurt you by bringing that past trauma up. But I don’t regret it. Because it was a damn good point.”
That was it. Not screamed. Not shouted. Just a text message–with enough weight to undo all the stitching I had been slowly sewing back together.
The Spiral
My past isn’t something I run from.
I’ve done the work.
I’ve faced it.
I don’t live in denial about the trauma, the pain, or the healing.
I’ve grown through it.
But that sentence?
It wasn’t new–it was familiar.
Too familiar.
The tone. The timing. The intention behind it….
It hit deep.
Like it wasn’t about the moment–it was about every moment I’d ever been told:
- “You aren’t good enough.”
- “You’re to emotional.”
- “This is your fault.”
- “You’re too damaged.”
- “Stay quiet.”
- “Stay small.”
And suddenly, I was back in survival mode.
I didn’t just feel broken–I was tired.
Tired of pretending.
Tired of hiding.
Tired of editing myself.
Tired of false hope.
Tired of carrying it all quietly.
I couldn’t eat. Couldn’t sleep.
I shut down, disappeared into a version of myself I thought I’d left behind.
The Wake-up
I wasn’t made to be digestible.
I wasn’t made to be be someone else’s version of easy.
I was made to be real.
To feel deeply. To question things.
To live a life that doesn’t always follow the script.
That moment didn’t just wreck me.
It woke me up.
From that moment, I made the quiet decision:
I chose me.
I chose the mess.
I chose the real.
I chose the truth.
I chose the version of me that doesn’t shrink anymore.
I’d rather be too much for the wrong people, than not enough for myself – ever again.
The shift in motion
Healing didn’t start that day.
But something shifted.
I stopped performing.
I stopped explaining.
I stopped shrinking.
And I started living.
I rolled out my yoga mat — not just for the stretch, but for the stillness.
I opened up books that mirrored my own unraveling – The Let Them Theory
I showed up – raw, shaky, honest – but I showed up.
This Blog isn’t just a post. it’s a turning point.
This space isn’t just a platform – it’s part of the shift.
It’s what happens when you stop pretending you’re okay.
It’s what happens when you finally speak what wrecked you.
If this moment found you –
If something in this post pressed into your own healing –
I want you to know….
You’re not alone.
Not in your unraveling.
Not in your rising.
