I also want to add silencing ourselves out of exhaustion from being the only ones advocating for ourselves. 😔

The way you put words to that quiet shrinking we do to keep the peace it’s something I’ve felt but couldn’t quite name. I’m learning too that silencing myself doesn’t actually protect me, it just erases me. Thank you for the reminder that using our voice, even shakily, is the only way back to ourselves. 🤍

I’m grateful to finally have the language for it. I also struggled a long time without knowing what it was that I was doing. I appreciate you taking the time to experience my arrangement of words 😊
