What kept you safe… is now keeping you stuck.
Survival isn’t the problem—being stuck in it is.
We were never meant to live in fight, flight, or freeze.
Survival was a lifeline, not a lifestyle.
And when we stay there too long, it starts costing us:
→ rest
→ softness
→ presence
→ boundaries
→ real joy
Let this be your gentle reminder:
You’re allowed to outgrow what got you through.
You’re allowed to want more than just getting by.
