   Betrayed But Breathing: My First Words

   I never thought I’d write this out loud.

   Not the part where I stayed.

   Not the part where I knew something was off—

   but kept trying to love the broken pieces anyway.

   And definitely not the part where the one I trusted most

   left me bleeding with a smile.

   But here I am.

   Breathing.

   Some days, that’s the victory.

   Because betrayal doesn’t just break your heart.

   It breaks your voice.

   It warps your reflection.

   It makes you forget the sound of your own soul.

   And when the betrayal comes from someone you loved?

   It leaves bruises in places no one else can see.

   I didn’t just lose them.

   I lost me.

   But this space—this blog—this breath…

   It’s not about staying lost.

   It’s about rising.

   It’s about choosing to wake up

   even when the tears haven’t dried.

   It’s about taking a trembling step forward,

   even when the ground feels like glass.

   It’s about telling the truth,

   even when your voice is shaking.

   I’m not all the way healed.

   I’m not standing tall every day.

   But I’m here.

   Still breathing.

   Still reaching.

   Still becoming.

   And if you’re here too,

   reading these words with a lump in your throat—

   maybe you’re still breathing too.

   So let me whisper this into your heart:

   You are not crazy.

   You are not weak.

   You are not too broken to begin again.

   There is life after betrayal.

   There is beauty after ruin.

   There is power in the breath you still carry.

   This is just the beginning.

   And I am done being silent.

   Let’s heal out loud.

   Let’s rise from the wreckage.

   Let’s speak what was once buried.

   Together.

   With love and breath,

   Lorrina
