Carrying Pain That Isn’t Ours: Why We Struggle With Ourselves

.
This prompt is raw, real, and reflective made for the days when you’re tired of performing and ready to finally feel. 🫂💭 You ever wonder why you keep shrinking yourself, doubting your worth, or moving through life like you’re still in survival mode… even when things are better now?
Yeah. Same.

This week’s shadow work prompt invites you to:

💔 Grieve the moments you abandoned yourself just to be accepted

Whether you’re journaling, praying, crying, or just sitting in silence — let this be your space to say:
“I don’t want to carry this anymore.”
You're not broken, sis. You're remembering. 🤍
