Some pain shows up like weather. Other pain shows up like color—spreading where you didn't invite it, changing the way you see yourself in the mirror.

Around Careziaspace, we call our community the Pack. And "Wolf Beans" are the people who keep showing up—even when they feel bruised, tired, or unseen. This post is for the ones who've been wilting… and are learning how to rise again.

Below is the poem. I'm letting it sit in the center of the page, the way it was meant to.

---

> Purple green flowers

> Running down both my arms

> Like thorns on a pricey pear

>

> As I sit staring out from the window sill

> They force me to take the pill

> Even against my will

> To change the mind of what you have done

>

> Purple green flowers wilting

> Have now found the sunshine from within

> Never allowing you to enter again!

>

> Purple green flowers rise again

> Game over

Sometimes healing starts as a private decision: I'm done letting this live in me.

Not revenge. Not noise. Just a boundary so real it becomes a door that won't open again. *Never allowing you to enter again.* That line is the shift—from surviving to choosing yourself.

In Cup of Joe with Jenn, Jenn — Director of Connection says what so many of us forget in the middle of the storm: "To the moon and back, you matter." If you're still carrying the purple and green today, it doesn't mean you're broken. It means you're still here. And the "sunshine from within" isn't a slogan—it's that quiet light you protect, even when nobody else understands what it took to keep it.

Some days the flowers wilt. Some days they rise again.

If you need a next step—something gentle and practical—see Appendix A for support resources inside the Careziaspace platform.

To every Wolf Bean reading this: keep rising. The sunshine is already inside you. We're just here to help you find it.
