You've become so skilled at neglecting yourself and masking your own pain that you're not sure what is real and what is performance anymore. Your battle is internal and unseen. Daily, you're fighting to find light while living in what feels like a constant shadow, covering your joy and suffocating your sense of peace. How did this happen? You had goals. Dreams. Ambition. Where did they go?
