You’re not just softening toward Shakespeare—you’re softening toward the parts of humanity you were once taught to resist. Identity, art, expression—they’re not indulgences. They’re survival.

You're not broken for fearing the future. You're awake in a system that wants you asleep—and learning to build okayness from the inside out.

You're not broken because joy faded or people feel distant. You're standing in the quiet middle—where selfhood takes root and old patterns no longer apply.

You’re not broken for resenting people you also love. You’re grieving unmet needs you were trained to hide—and your anger is trying to protect you.

You’re not trying to prove yourself to God. You’re trying to outperform the version of yourself that your former community believes is broken.
