When they told you it was your fault, something inside you learned to stay quiet.
But shame was never born in you — it was placed there.
This mirror is where you finally give that child back their voice.
Before the world placed its weight on your shoulders, there was only light. The first breath. The first gaze. The moment your soul whispered: I belong here. This mirror is a return to that beginning — to the innocence that never left you.
A quiet moment of awakening — when the noise fades, the veils fall, and you finally see the world, untouched and clear.
Not every mirror shows your face. Some reveal the layers you’ve built to survive. Step closer. Click. Listen. Peel them away.
Sometimes life doesn’t hurt through screaming—
it whispers, “You’re not enough.”
And instead of fighting it, we go quiet.
This piece is for that moment.
For every soul that forgot how to smile at itself—
and is ready to remember. Gently. Without judgment.
