Refract This
✨ Your worth is not defined by their actions.
You deserve more than the silence and shame they tried to impose. Your voice is valid, and your story matters, no matter the time that has passed.
Refract This
✨ Blame does not change the truth.
You were not at fault, and you are not responsible for the harm done to you. The actions of others are not your burden to carry. You are worthy of being seen, heard, and treated with respect. The accountability that was denied to them cannot be taken from you, and your healing journey is not defined by their failure to take responsibility.
Refract This
✨ No one is defined by the harmful labels others try to place on them.
These words are attempts to diminish your worth, but they cannot alter your truth. You are not broken, and you are not the sum of others’ opinions. What matters is who you are becoming: a Rising Light, a Grounded Spirit, a Healer. You are worthy of respect, compassion, and love, no matter what anyone else says.
