“I used to think my happy ending wore a tuxedo...
Paid the bills…
Made life easy.

I believed that if I was beautiful enough, agreeable enough,
someone would take care of me.

And for a while…
they did.

Until the day it all fell apart.
Divorce.
Bills.
Kids looking at me like I was the plan now.

That’s when it happened—
I started to shed.

Not just the dress.
The fantasy.
The rules.
The version of me who waited for someone else to fix it.

I was terrified.
It felt like death.

But it was just…
birth.

In that sacred unraveling, Still the Pain was born.

A book for the woman I used to be—
The one sobbing on the bathroom floor.
The one who wasn’t sure if she could survive the ache.
The one who kept loving even when her heart was in pieces.

This wasn’t the end of the dream.
It was the start of something real.

If you’re shedding too…
don’t stop. 

The skin that’s peeling off was never meant to fit forever.”

For the woman becoming. For the skin you no longer need
