Let this play if you’d like company while reading.
Shame doesn’t speak in full sentences.
It hisses: you’re wrong, you’re too much, you’re not enough.
It makes you want to hide —
to disappear before someone sees what you already fear.
But here’s the truth:
you are not your worst moment.
You are not the story shame tells.
When it hits, try this:
stand somewhere private,
and whisper something you once liked about yourself.
Even if it feels small, say it anyway.
You’re calling yourself back.
Shame loses power when met with warmth —
especially your own.
So breathe.
You don’t need to earn your way out of being human.
You already belong here.
Soft Exhale
Close your eyes and breathe deeply.
Imagine the pain as a color slowly shifting to soft light.
Let yourself simply be here, acknowledging every drop without shame.
Your heart is strong — you are seen, you are held.
