The Scene Didn’t Change- You Did

The facts are the same.

The moment happened.

But now, you look at it and feel something new.

Not because it disappeared.

But because you’re no longer reading it with the same voice.

That’s the shift.

Not in the event, in the perspective.

In literature, the narrator changes everything.

A villain becomes a victim.

A heartbreak becomes a hinge.

A sentence becomes a story you can finally live with.

Change the voice, change the lens, change the meaning.

We carry quiet stories: “I failed.” “I was too much.” “They didn’t care.” “I was never chosen.”

But what if that voice inside you wasn’t telling the truth, just the most practiced version?

Healing isn’t erasing the page.

It’s picking up the pen from a place that knows more now.

What story have I been repeating with no room to shift?

What does the voice in that story sound like?

What would change if I told it from kindness, curiosity, or hindsight?

“We tell ourselves stories in order to live.”

Joan Didion

You don’t need to rewrite the past.

Only to choose a new narrator.

Not the one that speaks in blame or shame or the same old certainty.

But the one who sees that there might be more to the story than the version you survived.

The story isn’t what happened.

It’s the voice you give it now.

You’re invited to tell it again.
