Not Quite Toxic, Not Quite Healed

Redemption arcs aren’t glamorous, they’re awkward, half-finished, and occasionally petty. You’re not toxic anymore (okay, not fully), but you’re also not fully healed. You live in the limbo where you delete their number but still check their story. Where you journal in the morning but subtweet at night. Where growth is happening, but chaos is still lurking in the background.

This stage is messy, but it’s necessary. You don’t have to have it all figured out. Healing isn’t linear, it’s layered, ugly, hilarious, and humbling. The goal isn’t to transform overnight. The goal is to notice the progress, even when it’s small.

Tessa’s Final Thought:
Being in-between isn’t failure, it’s proof you’re evolving.
