I died a hundred deaths to become this version of me.

I died a hundred deaths to become this version of me.

The slow way. The humiliating way.

The “I cannot believe I tolerated that” way.

The “why did I abandon myself for approval” way.

The “I’m learning boundaries in real time and it’s clunky” way.

So yes, I protect her.

I protect her from conversations that go into gossip. 

From opportunities that look shiny but cost too much internally.

From my own old patterns draining the life out of me.

I’m doing it because I’m loyal.

To the woman who kept getting back up.
To the woman who learned to trust herself again.
To the woman who built a life that finally feels like it fits.

Oh wait it's YOU AND I. That's us!!!

If you’ve changed and now you’re more selective… good.

Protect her fiercely.

She paid for this version of you with everything.
