<p>After Pain. Fear. Silence.</p><p>What comes next is not relief.</p><p><br/></p><p>It’s choice </p><p>But it doesn’t arrive loudly</p><p><br/></p><p>What comes next is.......</p><p>Awareness.</p><p>The moment the silence gets too quiet, and the thoughts get too clear. </p><p>When the hurt stops screaming and starts explaining itself.</p><p><br/></p><p>Then comes Resistance.</p><p>That subtle, stubborn refusal to break the way you were expected to</p><p>The clenched jaw. </p><p>The slow inhale. </p><p>The decision not to disappear.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>After that we have Desire.</p><p>Not for love yet. Not for healing.</p><p>Just the desire to feel something on your own terms.</p><p><br/></p><p>And eventually—whether you want it or not—</p><p><br/></p><p>Change.</p><p>Not the soft, pretty kind.</p><p>The kind that costs you parts of who you used to be.</p><p><br/></p><p>So the sequence becomes:</p><p>Pain.</p><p>Fear.</p><p>Silence.</p><p>Awakening.</p><p>Defiance.</p><p>Transformation.</p><p><br/></p><p>And only much later—earned, scarred, unromantic—</p><p>Power.</p>
