Hey, back to Rooted&Real.

2
00:00:21.448 --> 00:00:24.723
And today I'm going to talk about

3
00:00:24.817 --> 00:00:29.340
you not owing anyone your pain.

4
00:00:29.488 --> 00:00:30.884
Does that make sense?

5
00:00:32.508 --> 00:00:34.562
It's actually for people who've been forced

6
00:00:34.656 --> 00:00:36.924
to perform their healing out.

7
00:00:39.367 --> 00:00:42.414
Healing isn't a public event.

8
00:00:42.508 --> 00:00:44.723
You don't have to explain what broke you.

9
00:00:45.689 --> 00:00:48.602
You don't have to give people a play by play

10
00:00:48.696 --> 00:00:49.770
of your recovery.

11
00:00:49.864 --> 00:00:53.716
'Zii' (No)! You don't owe the internet your trauma

12
00:00:54.333 --> 00:00:56.293
just to be believed.

13
00:00:56.387 --> 00:00:58.145
Some things are sacred.

14
00:00:58.535 --> 00:01:02.025
Some things are just for you and God.

15
00:01:02.602 --> 00:01:04.548
Privacy is a protection.

16
00:01:05.407 --> 00:01:09.045
Not everyone deserves access to your wounds.

17
00:01:09.488 --> 00:01:12.212
You know, some people ask for details,

18
00:01:12.306 --> 00:01:14.118
not to understand you.

19
00:01:15.072 --> 00:01:17.769
But to discuss you.

20
00:01:18.588 --> 00:01:21.286
You're allowed to say, "I'm working through some things."

21
00:01:21.380 --> 00:01:22.628
and leave it there.

22
00:01:22.790 --> 00:01:24.977
Silence is not hiding.

23
00:01:25.071 --> 00:01:27.407
It's healing in peace.

24
00:01:28.172 --> 00:01:32.092
You can be growing and be quiet about it.

25
00:01:32.185 --> 00:01:35.487
You can be hurting and not post about it.

26
00:01:35.998 --> 00:01:38.964
Your story, your terms.

27
00:01:39.474 --> 00:01:42.897
When you're ready, you'll share what you want

28
00:01:42.964 --> 00:01:45.622
and how you want.

29
00:01:46.253 --> 00:01:50.212
Until then, protect your peace.

30
00:01:50.373 --> 00:01:53.568
You don't have to bleed publicly to be valid.

31
00:01:54.199 --> 00:01:58.883
Again, you don't owe anyone your pain.

32
00:01:59.353 --> 00:02:02.575
You owe yourself your peace.

33
00:02:03.568 --> 00:02:04.964
Keep it.
