We Believe You
“Your resilience wasn’t a compliment — it was a requirement.”
People praise survivors for being strong without acknowledging that strength was demanded, not chosen. Resilience wasn’t a virtue — it was the cost of survival in an environment that refused to protect you.
Survivor Literacy reframes resilience as evidence of harm, not proof that you “handled it well.” You were resilient because you had to be.
Your resilience was necessity, not praise.
