Little Jasmine, We Made It Home

For a long time, I thought healing meant building a better life around myself.

A cleaner home.
A safer home.
A calmer home.

And I did.

But somewhere along the way, I realized I was also learning to become the kind of person Little Jasmine could finally trust.

The adult who doesn’t yell.

The supervisor who gives breaks.

The woman who notices when something hurts.

The one who stays.

I didn’t just build a peaceful home.

I became one.
