Becoming Through the Darkness
Lately, the old pain has been surfacing again. The betrayal. The heartbreak. The memories I thought I buried deep enough not to feel anymore. But this time, something is different. It’s not here to break me — it’s here to remind me who I am becoming. The darkness didn’t win. I used it. I became…
