The Day I Stopped Romanticizing My Pain
For a long time, I believed my pain made me interesting.
It gave my stories weight, my voice depth, my silence meaning. I wore it quietly, like a badge only other wounded people could recognize. When something hurt, I didn’t run from it—I wrote about it. I turned it into metaphors. I dressed it in beautiful words so it would look intentional instead of unbearable.
