Silence was never your flaw—it was a survival tactic. When love felt conditional, criticism rained like shrapnel, and vulnerability was weaponised against you, quietness became your armor Recovering ❤️‍🩹 From Narcissistic Abuse Quote

 

To everyone gently unearthing the voice they were taught to bury, this is your reminder that safety can coexist with sound.

Silence was never your flaw—it was a survival tactic. When love felt conditional, criticism rained like shrapnel, and vulnerability was weaponised against you, quietness became your armour. But now, as you tentatively test each word, stutter through sentences once swallowed, or journal truths too raw to speak aloud—you’re not just finding your voice. You’re resurrecting the self that chaos tried to erase.

This isn’t about volume; it’s about integrity. It’s whispering ‘no’ to what harms you, even if your hands shake. It’s sharing your story in fragments, knowing each piece is a revolt against the narrative that your truth is ‘too much.’ It’s realising that being heard won’t always feel dangerous—not when you’re the one holding the megaphone.

So take your time. Start with a hum, a poem, a text you don’t send. Every syllable you reclaim chips away at the lie that your silence was ever weakness. It was resilience. And now, your voice? It’s revolution.

Sending love to those rewriting their soundtrack—from survival hymns to anthems of unapologetic selfhood.
