The Moment I Faced the Mirror

There was a moment I stood in front of the mirror… and didn’t recognize the woman staring back at me.

She looked strong. But tired.

She looked brave. But broken.

She looked like me — but not the me I remembered.

And I realized: this mirror wasn’t showing me what I lost.

It was showing me what I survived.

✨ Healing isn’t about “getting back” to who you were.

It’s about meeting the new version of you… and giving her grace.

I don’t look like everything I’ve been through.

But I honor the woman who got me here.

This is part of the journey. And if you’ve ever felt unfamiliar with yourself…

💛 You’re not alone.
