Part 1: Unlearning Quiet
The Wound Has A Name
“I grew up hearing ‘When adults talk, children shut their mouths.’
And I didn’t realize how much that shaped me.
I was that kid who loved to talk, curious, excited,
but after a while, I learned that my words could make people pull away.
So I got quiet. I thought silence made me safe.
But it also made me disappear.
My Chiron’s in Gemini, the wound of being unheard.
It’s taken me years to realize: silence isn’t peace. It’s protection.
And I don’t need that protection anymore.
Every time I speak now, even if my voice shakes,
I heal a little more.
I’m done silencing myself to survive.
I speak to thrive.

Where have you silenced yourself instead of speak your truth ?
