Wednesday • The Cost
The Price You Paid to Stay
The illusion didn’t just cost you pain. It cost you time.
Versions of yourself that never got to arrive.
You delayed your needs. Softened your truth.
Made yourself smaller to keep the peace.
This is the grief no one prepares you for —
not missing them, but missing who you could have been.
Naming the cost isn’t punishment. It’s reclamation.
You can’t retrieve what you won’t acknowledge.
Stay powerful.
