They don’t tell you that healing hurts. 
They don’t tell you that sometimes it wrecks you before it restores you.
They don’t tell you that healing means ripping out the coping mechanisms that kept you numb just to finally feel again.
They don’t tell you that growth means grieving the things that once saved you.
Because yes, it helped you survive.
But now it’s stopping you from living.
You can’t stay addicted to pain and pray for peace. You can’t cling to chaos and claim you want clarity. You can’t keep feeding your triggers and expect your trauma to starve.
Healing doesn’t whisper. It screams.
It screams through the silence after a goodbye.
It screams in the stillness when the distractions are gone. It screams when your soul starts detoxing from dysfunction.
Frankly Speaking, keep going, that scream is the sound of your soul coming back to life.
