Veil and Feather | The Company We Keep

There comes a point in healing where the biggest threat to your growth isn’t trauma —

it’s the people who keep applauding what should have been unlearned.

Harmful behavior doesn’t always come from evil intent.

Often, it’s the result of never being held to a higher standard.

Of being surrounded by people who cosign dysfunction, sugarcoat truth, and call it “support.”

When someone has lived too long in an environment that normalizes harmful choices,

they lose sight of the damage — not because they’re incapable of reflection,

but because they’ve built a life that never required it.

Growth demands more than intention. It demands accountability.

And accountability rarely comes from people who benefit from your silence,

your sameness,

your self-abandonment.

So yes — sometimes healing means walking away.

Not out of bitterness,

but out of clarity.

Because you can’t build a healthy life in a room full of people committed to staying unwell.

You need people who sharpen you — not ones who celebrate the version of you that stays stuck.

At Veil and Feather, we honor truth over comfort.

We don’t stay small to stay accepted.

We don’t label discomfort as disloyalty.

We speak the truth,

even when it empties the room.

We love each other enough to call shit what it is.

We challenge what’s been normalized just because it came from family, tradition, or survival.

Some people will stay offended. Let them.

Some people will call your distance betrayal. Let them.

Let them whisper about your growth while you keep building it.

Let them normalize their pain — somewhere else.

Because staying broken to be loved is not healing.

And being unchallenged is not safety.

🪶 Because healing is not just personal. It’s sacred. It’s disruptive. And it’s yours to protect.
