No one’s handing you a new life. It’s your job to build it. You don’t need permission to grow, you need the guts to face yourself. The past may not be your fault, but staying stuck is your choice. You can either carry old wounds or learn from them. You can repeat the cycle or break it. You don’t become stronger by waiting, you become stronger by acting. Facing yourself is never easy, but staying the same costs more. Comfort won’t change you. Ownership will. You’re not a victim of your story unless you choose to be. The truth? No one is coming. It’s on you now. Own it. Or stay stuck.
