To the survivor reading this: You may feel that your story is too small, too messy, or too shameful to share. You are wrong. The story of how you got out of bed today might be the exact rope someone else needs to climb out of their own darkness. You do not owe the world your trauma. But if you choose to share it, on your terms, with your voice, you become part of the unbroken thread of human resilience.
