Between the Hurt and the Healing
Hi, I’m Takisha, and I’m still learning how to live in the space between what hurt me and who I’m becoming.
I started this blog because I realized something important:
healing isn’t a finish line — it’s a lifetime of choosing yourself, especially on the days when it feels impossible.
I’ve lived through trauma that shaped me emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Some chapters broke me open in ways I never expected. Some taught me things I wish I could unlearn. And some left scars that still pull a little when I breathe too deeply.
But even in the hardest moments — in the confusion, the trauma bonds, the parts of me that hold on to what I should’ve let go of long ago — I’ve found meaning. I’ve found flashes of peace. I’ve found myself slowly coming back home to my own soul, piece by piece, moment by moment.
Most of my healing didn’t happen loudly.
It happened in the quiet.
In the late-night overthinking.
In the shower where I let myself cry.
In the moments I caught my breath and realized the world wasn’t ending.
In the signs, small blessings, and unexpected clarity that felt spiritual in ways I can’t fully explain.
I’m an Aquarius at heart — strong-minded, a little detached on the surface, but deeply emotional and intuitive underneath it all. I feel things more than I show them. I love deeply, quietly. I heal privately. And I speak only when something inside me knows it’s the truth.
This is my space to share that truth.
Not polished.
Not perfect.
Not “fully healed.”
Just real.
If you’re here, maybe you’re living in that in-between too — not broken, not whole, just trying. And maybe, like me, you want a space where your story can breathe without judgment.
Here, you don’t have to be okay to belong.
You don’t have to have everything figured out.
You don’t need to pretend the past didn’t change you.
You just need to be brave enough to keep going.
So welcome to the middle of the journey — the raw, messy, beautiful place between the hurt and the healing.
I’m glad you’re here with me.
