I No Longer Believe Every Thought I Think

Dear Delyara, There was a time when every dark thought felt like truth. If my mind said I was failing, I believed it. If it said I was too late, too damaged, too difficult to love, I accepted it like a verdict. I did not know I could question the voice in my own head. But recently, something changed. Now when a cruel thought appears, I pause. I ask, “Is this true, or is this fear talking?” That pause has changed my life more than anyone can see. My awakening is simple: my mind still speaks, but I no longer bow to every word.
