Healing as Unbecoming
What if healing isn’t about fixing yourself but unlearning who you were told to be?
What if healing isn’t about becoming whole but about unraveling? What if it’s not about fixing yourself but shedding the layers of expectations, fears, and identities that were never truly you?
Maybe healing isn’t about learning to be someone new but unlearning everything you were told to be: the ways you shrank yourself to fit, stayed silent to be accepted, and the roles you played to make others comfortable.
What if the real work of healing is unbecoming, stripping away every falsehood until all that’s left is your raw, honest version? The one who isn’t performing. The one who isn’t carrying burdens that don’t belong to her. The one who finally recognizes that she was never broken, just buried beneath everything she was ever meant to hold.
Healing as unbecoming means that the truest version of you was always there. You just have to let everything else fall away.
