I keep relearning the same boundaries.

Not because I’m doing it wrong… but because I’m still healing the part of me that thought she wasn’t allowed to have any.

The part of me that says yes even when I’m exhausted.

That overcommits.

That wants to be generous and good and supportive and available and ALL THE THINGS.

And honestly?

She’s doing her best.

She learned to survive by being agreeable.

By overgiving. By anticipating everyone else’s needs before her own.

But she’s tired.

And I’m tired of carrying her story like it’s still the only way to be loved.

So here I am…

Setting boundaries late.

Setting them awkwardly.

Setting them even when my voice shakes and my chest feels weirdly guilty.

And I’m reminding myself - and maybe you - that boundaries aren’t proof that we’re healed.

They’re part of the healing.

A spell we cast to come back to ourselves.

If you want to explore this magic in real time, with messy humans like me?

Come join our rebel circle. Worthy & Rising.

We’ve got a Sagittarius Full Moon reflection coming up on Wednesday.

It’s gonna be soft, honest, and wildly expansive.

You belong there.

Sometimes the worst things happen and there’s no deeper reason. No lesson to be learned. No cosmic path that made the pain “worth it.” They just happened, and they shouldn’t have.

In this comic, Luna listens to three different people share real, painful experiences: struggling to find work, surviving abuse, and living with trauma. Then someone tries to wrap it all up with, “Everything happens for a reason.” It’s meant to comfort, but more often than not, it comforts the speaker, not the person hurting. It’s a way to soften the discomfort of witnessing someone’s pain, especially if you’ve never faced it—or even if you have and haven’t fully allowed yourself to feel it. But denying the weight of trauma, yours or someone else’s, isn’t healing. It’s erasure.

If you’ve ever been told your pain made you stronger when you just needed someone to say, “I believe you,” this comic is for you. You’re not stronger because of what happened—you’re stronger in spite of it. And you deserved better in the first place.

Let people heal without forcing a silver lining.

Have you ever been told “everything happens for a reason” after something awful? How did it make you feel? Let it out in the comments—we’re listening.
