UNSPOKEN CHOICES
She never got to choose where she came from — or who raised her.
But what she says next will surprise you.
She was born into a story already halfway written.
A house not of her choosing.
Rules she didn’t understand.
Hands that sometimes comforted… and sometimes didn’t.
She didn’t choose the voices that told her to “be quiet,”
or the long nights wondering why love, for her, looked so different from the books she read.
She didn’t ask for the silence, the confusion, the tight smiles at dinner, or the ache in her chest that came from never quite belonging — not even in her own home.
She didn’t get to choose any of it.
Not the pain.
Not the patterns.
Not the people who shaped her before she even knew who she was.
But now, years later, with lines around her eyes and peace in her voice,
she says something that catches people off guard:
“I forgive them.”
Not because they said sorry.
Not because they deserved it.
But because she deserved to be free.
“I didn’t want to carry bitterness into rooms they were never in.
I didn’t want to let people who hurt me live forever in my choices.
So I let it go — not all at once, but slowly. Quietly. Kindly.”
She learned to mother herself.
To offer comfort where there used to be absence.
To speak softly when the world was too harsh.
She built safety from scratch.
Turned brokenness into beauty.
And made a life where tenderness wasn’t a stranger, but a promise.
“I still have scars,” she says. “But I don’t hide them. I wear them.
Because they remind me that survival isn’t the end of the story.
Becoming is.”
She now knows:
She didn’t choose the beginning,
but she chooses every single day what comes next.
She chooses patience — even when her past taught her panic.
She chooses love — not the kind she was given, but the kind she always dreamed of.
And most of all, she chooses herself.
Again.
And again.
And again.
**Her past was written for her — but her future?
She’s holding the pen now.
And with each word, she proves:
You don’t have to be what they made you.
You can be what you were born to become.**
