For survivors. For anyone who’s ever ignored a red flag and asked themselves “Was it my fault?”This isn’t just my story. It’s a warning.And it ends with me choosing Truth~ so another woman doesn’t have to bleed for it.When one woman speaks the Truth, she cracks open the silence for all of us.So, thank you.To every woman who has screamed into silence and wasn’t believed.To those who drowned in their truth because the world refused to hear it.To the ones who rose anyway—and spoke, and roared, and lit the path with their pain turned power.To everyone who reached out, who helped me piece this together, who reminded me I wasn’t crazy and that I wasn't alone.And to every listener—who by witnessing this story, is empowering another woman to tell hers.This is how we rise. Together.It's our time to Wake Up.
