My name is Ebony, and my life changed the moment I decided to face the truths I'd been avoiding about my relationship with Lamar. I lived through emotional neglect, believing I deserved the silent treatment and dismissive behavior. It wasn't until I turned to deep self-reflection journaling that I saw how deeply the toxicity ran.

These journal prompts weren’t easy; each one felt like excavating hidden parts of my heart, answering questions I had spent years avoiding: "What truths have you ignored about yourself?" and "Why did you accept less than you deserve?" Facing these questions made me confront my fears, my doubts, and the excuses I'd made for Lamar's behavior.

Through deep self-reflection, I discovered a strength within myself I didn't know I had. Today, my worth is no longer negotiable—it's non-negotiable.
