Gaslighting is one of the most invisible forms of emotional abuse—and also one of the most damaging. It doesn’t leave bruises. It doesn’t shout. It whispers. It twists. It makes you question what you saw, what you felt, and eventually, who you are.

This piece is written from the wreckage that gaslighting leaves behind. It's about what it feels like to give someone your light, only to have them use it against you. It’s about the confusion, the silence, the erasure of self that happens when someone rewrites your reality and calls it truth.

But more than that, this piece is about rising.

This is the journey back to that knowing.

"Gaslighting doesn’t erase the truth—only your trust in it. But once you remember what you felt, saw, and knew deep down, you rise. Not as who you were before, but as someone no one will ever silence again."
