You ‘re just ahead.
The room is quiet, but her mind isn’t. It moves like a storm inside her. She is thinking about all the versions of herself she had to leave behind. Every time she was told to soften, to dim, to fit. And how she didn’t listen.
There’s a kind of calm in her now, a strong kind of calm. The kind you get after going through hard times again and again, until you stop fearing the fall.
Her thought.
” They believed I needed saving.
I was building ”
Her statement.
” I am not what you expected, I am what i chose”
Her message.
Stop asking yourself to shrink so they can understand you.
Growth isn’t meant to be comfortable or convenient for anyone watching.
The shoutout.
To the ones rebuilding quietly,
to the ones who look composed but carry entire revolutions inside them
you’re not invisible. You’re just ahead.
This is dedicated to everyone who is going through growing and changing.
For those who are becoming a better version of themselves.
