That tiny moment of space before your reply? That’s growth. That’s your nervous system finding regulation.
2 — You crave peace over chaos
You used to chase drama, validation, or noise. Now silence feels soothing. That’s your brain healing.

3 — You set boundaries, even if shakily
You still feel guilty, but you say “no” anyway. That’s self-worth, blooming slowly.

4 — You reflect instead of spiraling
You’re asking, “Where did this trigger come from?” Instead of just reacting. That’s emotional maturity.

5 — You feel grief for your old self

To yourself. To your body. To your journey. That tenderness is a radical sign of healing.

Healing is not a straight line
It’s layered. It loops. It’s not linear—but it’s real. And you’re living it.
