Ye kahani puri tarah achchhi ghatnaon par aadharit hai.
This story is based entirely on true events. 🪷
This is the first chapter of a 6-part series.
For some girls, the lesson comes early:
Your voice is a threat. Your boldness is dangerous. Your questions will cost you love.
That's not parenting. That's patriarchy. And it doesn't arrive with chains. It arrives with words.
Quiet girls get loved. Loud girls end up alone.
I used my daughters' videos in this reel to show you something : how old I was when I learned to shrink. Before I ever learned who I actually was.
And to show you this: I'm breaking the cycle. For them. For me. So this doesn't become their story too.
Because they are the reason I finally woke up. They are the reason I'm telling mine.
They will never know the version of me who stayed quiet. They are being raised by a woman who fought like hell to find her voice. Not one who lost it and passed down the silence.
This took me nearly a month to share. To find the words. And still - I'm not an open book. The darkest parts die with me.
But this part? The part that can hold a mirror for another woman?
This part I'm releasing. For the collective. Coz I know I'm not the only one who has suffered under patriarchy.
So here's my hand. Take it if you need it. ❤️ We break the cycle one woman at a time. 🌷
Now I invite you to be courageous (and vulnerable) :⚡
At what age did you first learn to shrink? What were the rules growing up?
Now for Part 2, I'm not fully there yet. I'd share soon. Send more courage my way. May we all breakfree, my loves. To sisterhood ⚡ 💕
