This journal was not meant to fix you. It was meant to free you. Shadow work is not about becoming someone new, but finally meeting who you have always been beneath the wounds, masks, and stories. The path forward is not perfect, it is real. And real is more than enough. When the world pulls you to the surface again, remember your truth is anchored deep and your light was never lost, only buried. Your shadow is no longer your enemy. It is your mirror and your map.
