"For years, I ran from the parts of myself I was too afraid to face. I built walls of perfection, only to watch them crumble under the weight of my own avoidance. The moment I turned toward my shadow instead of away from it, I saw the truth: every wound, every fear, every whisper of doubt was waiting to be seen, understood, and released."
