Healing Is Not Becoming Who You Were – It’s Becoming Who You Needed
We often speak about “going back to who we used to be” — before the heartbreak, before the burnout, before life changed us.
The truth is: healing is not about returning. It’s about becoming.
You Are Not Meant to Be Who You Were
That version of you tolerated things you didn’t deserve.
That version of you didn’t have boundaries.
That version of you silenced their own needs just to keep the peace.
So why wish to go back?
Growth means we shed the layers we once wore out of fear, habit, or survival. Healing asks us to stop romanticizing the past and start respecting the version we are becoming.
Healing Is Messy — But So Is Becoming Real
It’s not a straight road.
There will be moments when you still miss what broke you.
You’ll feel guilty for choosing yourself.
You’ll wonder if you’re “too much” or “too distant.”
But those are growing pains — not signs of failure.
You Deserve to Be Someone You Can Trust
- Knows when to walk away without guilt.
- Can sit with their own silence and not feel lonely.
- Loves without losing themselves.
- Is not addicted to chaos to feel alive.
Final Thought
You don’t owe anyone your old self — not even your past.
You are allowed to be new, to be whole, to be untamed.
Healing is not going backwards.
It’s becoming the version of you that never had the chance to exist — until now.
