You keep looking back at who you used to be.
The version of you who tolerated more.
Who explained things away.
Who stayed longer than she should have.
And you judge her.
But you shouldn’t.
She did exactly what she knew how to do at the time.
She survived with the tools she had.
She loved with the understanding she had.
She stayed because she believed things would change.
And that version of you is the reason you are here now.
Becoming someone new is not about rejecting who you were.
It is about understanding her.
Honouring her.
And then choosing differently.
Persephone did not become a queen overnight.
She became one through experience.
Through loss.
Through clarity.
Through choosing herself again and again.
That is what you are doing too.
Even if it feels slow.
Even if it feels uncertain.
You are not going backwards.
You are becoming.
