…doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt.
We often hear, “They didn’t mean it,” or “That wasn’t their intention.”
And while that might be true, intent does not erase impact.
You’re allowed to feel what you feel.
Your emotions are valid.
You don’t have to minimize your pain just to protect someone else’s innocence.
Even unintentional wounds still require healing.
Feel it. Name it. Honor it.
Then move how you need to.
