It is done

There once was a web, woven from fear and pain. A web that too many were stuck in. Voiceless, afraid, separated from their truth and their homes.

But I am here to tell you that times have changed.

The strings have been broken. The pull has been destroyed. Every tangle has been released. We are all being released.

Sure it hurt, being so deeply misunderstood. It hurt, but we are taking that pain and turning it into gold.

No more will stories hide the truth that lives within us. No more will the light be hidden behind lies. Even the hurt will fade.

Because we know the truth. And now we know who we are.

We represent the questions that were never asked. We defy the rules and stories and harnesses that have kept you stuck in place. We rise with wings from what you thought was our grave.

We stepped outside of the rule book and you found us rising still.

Like a ship that dared to pull up the anchor and made it back home to tell the tale, we have processed the pain and we’ve returned with love, to remind you that the world is not as scary as you thought.

You can put down the stories now, because their pull will never again be the same. We have returned with more power than they ever held and ever will.

We are the healers now. And now we have returned, to flip some tables and break some chains.

We have returned with love and purpose, and now nothing that was will ever be the same.
