Writing To Heal
There are wounds that medicine can’t cure. There is pain that can only be released through words. Here, I don’t write because I’m already healed — I write because I’m still in the process. Writing to Heal is where I share how words have saved me. How my trauma slowly found a name. How a woman like me finally found the courage to speak — even if her voice trembles.

✨ Writing While the Heart Is Still Bleeding
I don’t write because I’m okay.
I write because if I didn’t, maybe I would’ve stopped breathing.
There are nights when only a blank page is willing to listen.
When no one asks, “Are you okay?”
— I answer it myself, through long paragraphs.
Sometimes, the writing is a mess.
Not poetic. Not beautiful. Just raw emotion.
But that’s where I slowly began to learn:
healing isn’t about covering the wound —
it’s about giving it space to speak.
I’m still writing.
And I’m still learning how to heal.
“The wound never disappeared.
But it became ink.”
