💌 Dear Woman with PTSD

You are not broken.

I know that sometimes it feels like you are.
When your heart races for no reason.
When you’re exhausted from hypervigilance.
When your body tenses at sounds, smells, or places others walk through without fear.
When your mind replays the past like it’s happening all over again—and you can’t press pause.
When you wonder if you’re too much for anyone to stay.
Too tired. Too triggered. Too complicated.

But hear me clearly:
You are not broken. You are living through what tried to destroy you.

Your brain learned how to protect you. Your body learned how to hold it all in.
You adapted to survive—and that is nothing short of divine intelligence.

You don’t owe anyone a perfect, polished version of healing.
You don’t have to explain the invisible injuries.
You don’t need to hide your hard days to be loved, respected, or honored.

You are allowed to take up space.
To pause.
To cry.
To rage.
To not be okay.
And to still be deeply worthy of tenderness, joy, safety, and rest.

You may not have asked for this journey—but you deserve to heal without shame.

Let this be your permission slip to be human.
Let this be your reminder:
You are sacred. You are surviving. You are still here.

You are not broken.
You are becoming.
And I am so proud of you.

With love,

🖤
