Who am I becoming?

Becoming the woman you were meant to be is not about becoming perfect. It is about becoming honest, whole, and deeply connected to yourself. It means no longer shrinking to be loved.

It has to be rebuilt gently. Start by recognizing that what happened affected you. You are not weak for feeling unsure. Emotional abuse can slowly train you to doubt yourself, so healing means learning to believe yourself again. Confidence grows through small promises you keep to you

Losing yourself in a relationship can happen slowly. At first, you may only compromise small parts of yourself to keep peace. You avoid certain conversations, hide your feelings, or change your behavior to avoid conflict. Over time, those small moments of self-abandonment can leave you feeling disconnected from who you are.
