The Last Lesson

For years, I moved through life holding it all together on the outside, disconnected from self-love underneath. I was the woman who held space for everyone but had no refuge for herself. Who learned that love meant giving herself away, and found her worth in how much others needed her.

The universe kept offering me lessons. Until the biggest one arrived. After fifteen years of marriage, it ended in betrayal. Everything I had built my identity around, the devoted wife, the woman who loved hard enough, shattered. This was the unravelling. My heart and soul broken open.
