Alignment Over Approval
She learned early how to disappear.
By fourteen, she was homeless. By adulthood, she had learned to endure loss, abandonment, and institutional control without ever asking for permission to stop. Motherhood arrived without protection. Love arrived with imbalance. Stability was promised and repeatedly withdrawn.
When everything finally collapsed — publicly and irrevocably — she was left alone in a country where she knew no one, raising a child without support and without witnesses.
Alignment Over Approval is a memoir of survival without sentimentality. It traces the cost of endurance, the quiet devastation of being misunderstood, and the moment fear loses its leverage. This is not a story about overcoming adversity through optimism or reinvention, but about choosing coherence over chaos, self-respect over explanation, and building a life that no longer requires approval to stand.
Clear-eyed, restrained, and uncompromising, this book is for readers who have learned the hard way that strength isn’t loud — and sovereignty doesn’t ask to be chosen.
