There is a moment in healing when silence stops feeling lonely and starts feeling safe. When you no longer rush to fill the space with noise, attention, or approval. You learn how to sit with yourself without judgment, without needing to perform or explain who you are becoming.
In that space, you begin to notice how much energy you once spent seeking reassurance from places that could never truly offer it. The more at home you feel within yourself, the less willing you are to chase validation that costs you your peace. You stop shrinking, overgiving, or bending just to feel chosen.
Self belonging changes what you tolerate, what you pursue, and what you finally release.
