From Victim to Survivor: The Shirt That Tells My Story
“Victim” is crossed out. “Survivor” stands tall. That’s not just a shirt. That’s my truth. For years, I carried chains heavier than anyone could see. Domestic abuse. Self-inflicted wounds. The cycle of bad choices, bad men, and bad nights. I thought I was trapped in it, defined by it. I wore the word victim like a second skin. But healing is messy. Healing isn’t pretty quotes and soft music. Healing is screaming in the shower, shaking in your car, relapsing on your own bullshit, then deciding — again — to stand up. SMART Recovery changed my perspective. It gave me tools, but more than that, it gave me power. Power to recognize the lies I told myself. Power to take back control. And with that power, I made the decision: I am no longer a victim. I crossed that word out. Now, I wear Survivor. This shirt isn’t fashion. It’s rebellion. It’s armor. It’s a middle finger to every abuser, every manipulator, every voice in my head that said I wasn’t enough. The roses? They’re not decoration. They’re proof that beauty can grow from blood, from pain, from ashes. And if you’ve been through it — the fists, the gaslighting, the scars no one else sees — you know exactly what it means to stand up and say: not anymore. This design is for every woman who refuses to be silenced, who clawed her way out of the fire and lived to tell it. It’s for the ones still crawling too, because one day you’ll walk out, and when you do, you’ll understand this shirt down to your bones.
