Re: You’re not broken. You’re just buried beneath everything the world asked you to be.(and why it’s not about becoming a better version of yourself, but about remembering who you were before forgetting)
Would it surprise you to know that I found the deepest peace of my life — not through fame, success, or perfection?
…but by unlearning everything the world told me I had to be?
Because for years, I did what so many of us do:
I kept pushing. Smiling. Performing strength.
I wore every crown the world handed me — achiever, caretaker, peacekeeper.
And slowly… I disappeared beneath them.
I didn’t lose myself overnight...
It happened moment by moment
every time I said yes when I meant no,
every time I silenced my needs to keep the peace,
every time I mistook being strong for being whole.
Until one day, I realized:
I wasn’t living.
I was managing.
And maybe that’s where you are, too:
You wake up tired.
You go through the motions.
You show up for everyone — and feel strangely absent in your own life.
The truth is you’re not broken. You’re just buried.
Beneath the roles.
Beneath the weight.
Beneath everything you were told to be.
And the woman you ache to become?
She’s not someone new.
She’s the real you — waiting to be remembered.
But before you can remember, you first need to know where you are today...
