You are not broken.
You are not too much.
Your nervous system has just never learned that it was safe to fully be you.
Ans you’re exhausted of living a life that doesn't feel like you.
You know what it feels like to be in a room full of people and still feel like no one really sees you.
You know what it feels like to finally get something you wanted — the freedom, the trip, the relationship, the success — and still feel the emptiness underneath it all.
You know what it feels like to be your own harshest critic. To replay every interaction. To shrink before you've even opened your mouth.
You know what it feels like to be so self-aware and still feel stuck.
That is not a flaw. That is not proof that something is wrong with you.
That is what happens when your nervous system never learned that it was safe to fully be you.
