Each time she surrenders, her dream dies a little more.
I know this because mine have too. I’ve stood in the mirror, convinced that one moment of weakness meant the end of everything I could ever be. I’ve watched myself vanish in the same way you might — as if surrender once means surrender forever.
That’s what the wound does. It lies. It tells you that you are only your breaking. It whispers that letting go means you’ll never rise again. It sharpens itself into knives of self-hate and abandonment, cutting at every edge of your identity until you can’t tell who you are anymore.
But here’s the truth I’ve had to learn in pieces: every time I thought I lost myself completely, I was still here. Breathing. Waiting. Dreaming, even if I didn’t believe I deserved to. And you are too.
You don’t have to surrender the whole of yourself just because you surrendered once. You don’t have to abandon your dream just because the wound said you would. You are allowed to walk back toward it. Again. And again.
This is how we bloom at the edge of nothing: not by never breaking, but by refusing to let the breaking have the last word.
