You’re Not Broken — You’re Becoming

There was a time when I looked at myself and thought, Why am I like this? Why can’t I just be “normal”?
I carried so much shame. So many questions. I thought maybe something in me was broken.

But I’ve learned something since then — something I now carry with me in everything I create:
You are not broken.
You are becoming.

Healing doesn’t always look graceful. Growth doesn’t always look strong. Sometimes it looks like tears on the kitchen floor, like saying no when your voice shakes, like walking away from something you thought you’d never let go of.

Becoming who you truly are often means letting go of who you were taught to be.

So if you’ve ever felt like you’re “too sensitive,” or “too emotional,” or “too much,” please know — that isn’t brokenness. That’s aliveness. That’s truth. That’s your heart trying to rise.

Every scar, every chapter, every step of your journey has brought you here — not so you can judge yourself, but so you can understand just how much strength it took to make it through.

This is the message I try to pour into my songs. Not perfection. Not pretending. But truth. Compassion. Realness.
Because the world doesn’t need you to be flawless — it needs you to be you. Whole, human, and still becoming.

And just in case no one has told you this lately:
You are doing better than you think.
You are growing, even when it feels like standing still.
And you are never, ever alone on this journey.

With love,
Adrienn 💛
