When the Chaos Stops: What Healing Really Feels Like
This is what healing feels like once the chaos stops. It’s not fireworks or victory parades. It’s the quiet after a battle — a silence that hums in your bones, leaving you unsure whether to rest or run. After leaving an abuser, you begin to understand how much energy survival really took.

When most people hear “fear God,” they imagine trembling obedience — a cosmic authority waiting to punish, a sky-father with lightning in his fist. The phrase summons guilt, submission, and the dread of being wrong. But the truth is more nuanced.
