You were never meant to blend in. You were meant to break the pattern. 

You are not starting over. You are spiraling upward. 

Boundaries allow you to stay open-hearted without losing yourself. That is what true freedom feels like. 

If you have been waiting for a sign that it is not too late to start again, this is it.

You don’t owe anyone your silence. You owe yourself your truth. The moment you stop protecting other people’s comfort, you start protecting your own peace.
