SCARS AND SHADOWS THE BATTLE WITHIN
Storizen
|May 2025
“War is not only fought on the battlefield; it's fought in the mind, in the heart, and in the soul.”

We often imagine war as gunfire, bloodshed, and battle cries. But some wars don't make headlines. Some play out in silence—within the walls of a mind at war with itself. They're the wars we fight with guilt, regret, and the haunting echoes of “what if.” And sometimes, the enemy is not a nation or a stranger—it’s the reflection staring back at us.
I've fought such a war.
We all have chapters we don’t read out loud. I know I do. There are decisions I made when I was barely holding myself together. Not because they were perfect or popular—but because in that moment, they were my only survival. I still get flashes—those uncomfortable pangs of “could I have done better?” Maybe I could have. But I did what I thought was right. Maybe it wasn’t right for the world, but it was real to me.
And that’s not ego. That’s honesty.
