They told me my heart was treacherous.

That I couldn’t trust it.
That it would mislead me.
That if I followed it… I would lose everything.

So I learned to silence it.
To question every feeling.
To override the quiet voice inside me that said,
“Something isn’t right.”

And for a long time… I believed them.

I believed that my confusion meant I was weak.
That my questions meant I was drifting.
That my pain was a sign I needed to try harder… not listen deeper.

But here’s what I know now:

My heart was never the problem.

It was the part of me that noticed.
The part that felt the disconnect.
The part that refused to fully settle into something that didn’t feel true.

They called it treacherous.
But it was honest.

They told me not to trust it.
But it was the only thing that didn’t lie to me.

And the moment I finally listened…
everything started to change.

So if you’re sitting there, wondering if you can trust yourself…

This is your reminder:

Your heart is not dangerous.
It’s not broken.
And it’s not leading you astray.

It might just be the most trustworthy thing you have.🫶🏻

Last night in my support group, people shared their stories out loud for the first time… ever.

Not small things.
Years of silence.
Fear.
Control.
Questions they’ve never been allowed to ask.

And what I witnessed wasn’t broken people…

It was people finally hearing themselves.

You could feel the shift.
From “I don’t know if I’m allowed to think this”
to
“I think I actually have free will.”

If you’re in that place right now… questioning, scared, unsure what comes next…

You are not crazy.
You are not alone.
And you don’t have to figure this out by yourself.

I host a free support group every Wednesday for anyone at any stage of leaving or questioning.

You don’t have to stay stuck in the confusion.🫶🏻💕🫶🏻
