00:00What if peace feels dangerous because your body only ever knew protection through tension?

00:08And what if softness unsettles you?

00:11Not because it's unsafe, but because it asks you to unclitch from everything that once kept you alive.

00:20You've been praying for something gentle, but when it arrived, it didn't feel like home.

00:25It felt like a threat because your home was forged in fire, not quiet.

00:34And the ones who loved you only knew how to hold you with sharp hands.

00:40So now every calm voice feels like a setup.

00:45Every steady love feels suspicious.

00:48Not because it is, but because your nervous system is still wearing armor inside a war that ended years ago.

00:59You didn't leave because it was wrong.

01:01You left because it didn't feel like home.

01:04And that's the problem.

01:06You don't reject peace because it's wrong.

01:08You reject it because it doesn't know your name yet.

01:12Because survival taught you to love the unpredictable, to bond through crisis, to confuse adrenaline for chemistry and withdrawal for devotion.
