👑 Scroll of the Crown: The Crown That Rose from the Ruins
They think healing is soft.
That it means nothing hurt you.
That you’re smiling because nothing scarred you.
That your peace came without a price.
But there are those of us who didn’t get to choose healing as a luxury.
We had to fight for it like breath.
We had to crawl through days when the pain had a pulse and the silence had claws.
We had to unlearn the voice in our head that echoed with blame, shame, and all the things they said we were.
We didn’t get the easy way out.
We got the mirror.
We got the breakdowns.
We got the long nights where no one came.
And still, we rose.
Not because the past stopped hurting.
But because we stopped letting it hold the crown.
There’s a posture you earn when you’ve stared at your ruins long enough to know their names.
A royalty that forms when you refuse to be ruled by what was meant to ruin you.
You learn to stop hiding your scars and start building your strength with them.
Because that’s what royalty does.
It doesn’t hide the ashes, it reigns over them.
And one day, without needing to shout, you’ll stand in a room full of people who knew your pain, and they’ll see it.
Not the hurt.
The crown.
🪞Crown Mirror Reflection:
• What ruins did you once run from, that now mark your return?
• Where have you mistaken healing for denial?
• What would it look like to reclaim power without needing revenge?
🔥 Final Reflection:
If you’re waiting for your pain to vanish before you stand up, you’ll never rise. Healing was never about erasing what happened. It’s about disarming its power over how you live, love, lead, and speak to yourself.
The crown you wear now?
It didn’t come from escaping fire.
It came from learning to stand in it without burning down your soul.
You didn’t just survive.
You surrendered what broke you… and rebuilt from it.
And now?
You don’t need to prove anything.
Your posture speaks for itself.
💬 Final Whisper:
The damage didn’t disappear.
It just doesn’t get to lead anymore.
You do.
And that’s the crown.
👑
