"THE STORY I'VE NEVER TOLD"

Here's a freewriting piece on "The Story I've Never Told":

"The story I've never told is hidden in the crevices of my heart. It's a tale of shattered dreams, of whispered secrets, of silent screams.

It begins on a summer evening, when laughter filled the air and promises were made. But like autumn leaves, those vows withered and fell.

I remember the weight of expectation, the pressure to conform. The suffocating grip of tradition, the stifling embrace of familiarity.

And then, the fissure. The crack that spread, a fault line dividing past and future. The earthquake that shook my foundations.

I've never spoken of the darkness that followed. The tunnel of despair, the abyss of loneliness. The echoes of 'what ifs' and 'maybes'.

But also, the resilience that rose like a phoenix. The determination to rebuild, to restart, to rediscover.

This untold story is etched on my soul like a tattoo. A reminder of the battles fought, the wars won.

It's a narrative of survival, of transformation. Of finding strength in vulnerability, of learning to let go.

Why have I kept it hidden? Fear of judgment? Shame? Or perhaps, the story itself was still unfolding.

​

Today, I realize that this untold story is a part of me. A thread in the tapestry of my existence.
