🔥 Releasing the Survivor! There are versions of me that were built in the dark. Not because I wanted to become someone else, but because I had to survive. I learned how to read rooms, brace for impact, stay small when it was safer, and stay strong when no one was coming to help. Those versions weren’t false. They were necessary. I honour them. Every one of them carried me through moments that could have broken me. They stood watch when I was exhausted. They took the hits so the core of me could stay intact. But survival mode was never meant to be a permanent home. At some point, what protects you starts to confine you. The armour gets heavy. The vigilance gets loud. The coping strategies that once saved your life start costing you your peace. And you realize you’re still standing… but you’re not fully living. So I’m releasing the versions of me that were built only to endure. Not with resentment. Not with shame. With gratitude. They did their job. And now they can rest. This is what healing actually looks like. It’s not dramatic. It’s not performative. It’s a quiet, honest decision to stop living from old wounds and start living from truth. If this resonates, you’re not falling apart. You’re outgrowing survival. And what comes next is life... real, grounded, and finally yours. ZF 🔥 #SoulSister #Health #Wellbeing #Spirituality
