🌿 Healing After Betrayal 🌿

I trusted deeply. I gave my time, my loyalty, and the most honest parts of me, believing that the person I shared them with was safe. But betrayal came—without warning, without mercy. And it shattered something in me.

I’ve blamed myself. Over and over, I’ve asked: How didn’t I see it? Why did I trust so fully?

But I’ve come to realize something: the part of me that trusted—that believed in honesty and loyalty—that part wasn’t wrong. That part was pure. The betrayal says more about them than it ever will about me.

Healing is long and messy. It’s not linear. It comes in waves—some gentle, some brutal. But it is a process I’ve committed to, no matter how long it takes.

My pain is valid.

My trauma is real.

And no—I am not ashamed of it.

This is not about me. This is about the person who betrayed me.

And if Judas doesn’t pay—God will. Justice is not always mine to carry. But healing is.

Betrayal changed me—my trust, my energy, my boundaries, my voice.

There are days I miss who I was before it happened. But I also honor who I’ve become: someone stronger, more grounded, more discerning.

No, I don’t trust the way I used to.

But I trust myself more.

I trust my instincts.

I trust my ability to walk away.

I trust my worth.

This time, it’s more of me—but not more on you.

I don’t owe anyone my vulnerability unless they’ve earned it.

I’m not closing off—I’m filtering.

I still have love to give, but I give it wisely now.

To anyone healing from betrayal:

Your caution doesn’t make you cold.

Your boundaries don’t make you bitter.

They make you wise.

You are not broken.

You are becoming.
