This one’s about the things we say in survival mode—the words we wish we could unsay, the damage done in defense, and the shame that shows up afterward.

If you’ve ever lashed out in pain…If you’ve ever regretted what your mouth said before your brain caught up…If you’ve ever felt like your trauma spoke for you—

This is for you.

It’s not about excusing harm. It’s about owning it with honesty, repairing what you can, and forgiving the version of yourself that was just trying to survive.

Perfection isn’t the goal. Integrity is.
