Their Words Do Not Name Me. Survival Does.

✨ Affirmation ✨ Their words tried to cling to me like chains, but I shook them off. Their judgments do not define me. Their names do not name me. I carry the name given by my survival—Strength. Courage. Unbreakable. I walk in the truth of who I am:whole, worthy, and free.

✨ Affirmation ✨

Their words tried to cling to me like chains,


but I shook them off.


Their judgments do not define me.


Their names do not name me.


I carry the name given by my survival—
Strength. Courage. Unbreakable.


I walk in the truth of who I am:
whole, worthy, and free.
