“You are not waiting to be rescued — you are remembering that you already carry the remedy.”
You may have waited for someone to come back.
To fix it. To make it right. To say the words that never came.
But here’s the quiet truth: healing doesn’t begin when they show up.
It begins when *you* do.
When you stop asking the wound to close itself.
When you stop outsourcing your wholeness.
You are the one who can offer safety now.
You are the one who can speak the words your younger self needed.
You are the one who can choose gentleness — in place of punishment.
*You are not broken — you are becoming your own healer.*
*And no one can take that from you.*
Place your hand on your heart and close your eyes. Breathe slowly and say inwardly: 'I am here for you.' Repeat this for several minutes, addressing the parts of you still hurting. Let your voice become the medicine you once waited for.
Write a short love letter to yourself, addressed from your own future healed self. Let it be kind, strong, honest. Read it aloud and place it somewhere you can revisit when you need reminding.
Brianna L. “I spent years looking for someone to give me closure. But it was this shift — realizing I could give that to myself — that changed everything. It wasn’t dramatic. It was quiet. But it was powerful. And it made me whole again.”
You are the one you’ve been waiting for — and you’re right on time.
