ECHOES FROM THE CLOSET Ep. 2- I Found Strength the Moment I Stopped Abandoning Myself

This week's Echo is a story of what emotional strength truly looks like when it rises from emotional safety within—not fear, not performance, not survival. For most of my life, I believed strength meant hiding my fear, suppressing my anger, and holding everything alone. Like many of us, I learned those patterns young. I learned them at an orphanage, where showing fear felt dangerous. I learned them at home, where anger brought punishment. I learned them through abandonment, where acceptance felt like survival. But emotional strength built on suppression will cost you something. It always does. For me, it cost me my spirit. It cost me years of quiet collapse, seeking worth outside myself, and abandoning the child inside me who only ever wanted to be chosen... by me. Everything changed the moment I finally chose her. The moment I stayed within myself instead of running back to the familiar. The moment I trusted my own voice, even when the fear was still so very loud. And that choice—that moment of emotional safety—became the place where real strength was born. Emotional strength doesn't come from being unbreakable. It comes from being present— with yourself, then with the people you love. If you've ever felt like you. had to be strong in ways that cost you pieces of yourself... this Echo is for you. You are not alone in this. You can rebuild emotional safety from within. And when you do, the strength that grows from it is undeniable. Thank you for listening. You are welcome to return here each week to tend your heart with me. If you missed Monday's segment, below are the questions that I reflected on and encourage you to explore: 1. What part of me am I expecting to survive what should have been supported? 2. What emotion do I judge myself the most for feeling? 3. What does it cost me to stay strong in the way I currently define strength?
