You are allowed to talk about what they did to you and how it hurt you.

Don’t let anyone guilt you into silence. Don’t let “what will people think” stop you from speaking. Your story belongs to you.

If they wanted people to think better of them, they should have been better. Their actions, not your words, are what shaped their image.

Silence only protects the wrong person. Speaking sets you free.

It validates your experience.

It releases the weight you’ve been carrying.

It reminds others that they’re not alone.

And here’s the truth: people will judge you whether you speak or stay silent. The difference is — when you speak, you heal. When you stay silent, you keep bleeding.

Your story matters. Your voice matters. And your healing begins the moment you stop protecting the one who hurt you and start protect

ing yourself.
