For most of my life, I believed there was something wrong with me…
For most of my life, I believed there was something wrong with me.
I knew it from a very young age.
My body wasn’t like everyone else’s.
I couldn’t climb trees.
I couldn’t ride my bike up a hill.
I couldn’t run.
I fell over… a lot.
I couldn’t keep up with the other kids and I never understood why.
I just knew I was different.
As I got older, that difference became shame.
I hated my body.
I hated how it looked.
I hated how it moved.
I hated how weak it felt.
I hated everything about myself.
And when I was teased at school, called ugly, called fat, and made to feel less than, it only confirmed what I already believed.
That somehow there was something wrong with me.
So I spent years trying to escape myself.
Trying to become someone else.
Trying to be normal.
Trying to be enough.
But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t outrun myself.
Years later, when I began reconnecting with the spiritual side of myself, something began to shift.
Slowly.
Quietly.
A voice inside me began asking to be heard.
Not a voice outside of me.
My own.
So I sat.
And I listened.
And what I heard changed everything.
The voice didn’t tell me I needed fixing.
It didn’t tell me I needed to try harder.
It didn’t tell me to become someone else.
Instead, it reminded me of something I had forgotten.
That I am more than my body.
More than the stories I was told.
More than the shame I carried.
More than the labels I inherited.
It reminded me that I belong here.
That I am loved.
That I am whole.
That I am enough.
And maybe the greatest truth of all…
There was never anything wrong with me.
🌘 THE THRESHOLD was born from journeys like mine.
The journey of questioning the stories we’ve carried for so long that we mistake them for truth.
The journey of meeting the parts of ourselves we learned to reject.
The journey of remembering who we are beneath the shame.
Because healing doesn’t begin when we become someone else.
It begins the moment we remember who we are.
