@mommajo.85: You’ve lived in survival mode so long, it’s become muscle memory—always scanning the room, bracing for the next letdown, expecting the floor to fall out from under you. Even in the calm, your body doesn’t believe it’s safe yet. But now? Now you’re fighting to unlearn it. Fighting to believe that life can be more than just enduring. That you don’t have to stay hyper-aware, hyper-strong, hyper-alone just to make it through the day. You’re not crazy for being tired. You’re not selfish for wanting peace. You’re not dramatic for breaking down when no one sees the weight you carry. Survival mode kept you alive. But it’s not your home. It was a season. You’re allowed to want more now—joy, softness, stillness… yourself back. And even if you don’t know what thriving looks like yet, the fact that you’re reaching for it? That’s the bravest thing you’ve ever done. And I am proud of you!!! #survivalmode #mentalhealthglowup #SoftButStrong #dvSurvivor
