💔 Love should never leave bruises, only peace.💔

💔Today, I took one of the hardest steps of my life. I went to court to apply for a protection order against my husband.

It wasn’t an act of anger, but of survival. After years of emotional abuse and last night that turned violent, I finally realized that love isn’t supposed to hurt, and peace can’t grow in fear.

He hit me. He humiliated me. He broke more than a mirror, he broke the illusion that I could somehow fix what was never mine to fix.

I’m not sharing this for sympathy. I’m sharing it because healing begins when we tell the truth and it's part of my story. And my truth is simple: I’m tired of pretending everything is okay when it’s not

Today, I chose to speak up. I chose to stand up for myself, bruised, shaken, but I'm refusing to let this go on any longer 💔
