Codependency Is Not Love
You give, and give, and give… hoping that one day, it will be enough.
“Always ask yourself: What will happen if I say nothing?” - Kamand Kojouri
For so long, that inner voice has been your harshest critic - reminding you of your mistakes, replaying your fears, keeping you small. It’s exhausting, isn’t it?
But what if, just for a moment, you didn’t engage? What if, instead of arguing with it, justifying yourself, or trying to fight back - you simply chose silence?
• What if you didn’t criticize yourself today?
• What if you didn’t judge yourself for feeling tired, lost, or afraid?
• What if you let go of the need to punish yourself for not being "perfect"?
Silence can be powerful. Not the silence of self-doubt, but the silence that creates space for something new. Space for healing. Space for kindness. Space for peace.
You don’t have to fix everything at once. Start by letting go of the voice that keeps tearing you down. Start by choosing quiet over criticism.
And in that silence, you might just hear something new - your true self, waiting patiently, ready to rise.
Are you ready to break free from the inner battle?

Somewhere along the way, you started believing that to love fully, you had to lose yourself.
Because somewhere along the way, we were taught that love means sacrificing ourselves.
How many times have you found yourself stuck in the same pattern, facing the same struggle, only with a new face or a different setting?
You were never broken. You were just waiting to remember who you are.
The battles you fight inside - the ones filled with self-doubt, fear, and the endless "what ifs" - aren’t there to punish you.
