Healing takes time, but every step forward is a victory, release the shame, embrace your strength and know that you are never alone in your journey. ❤️✨

Dawn breaks the endless night, words arrive, a guiding light. Soft yet strong, they find their place, A healing touch, a warm embrace. Tangled paths of loss & pain, hope still rises & love remains. A voice that speaks, a heart that hears, A truth that lingers, through the tears.

I carry a weight, unseen, untold, A story etched in shadows cold. Too young to know, too young to fight A stolen piece of my own light. Yet in the chaos strength takes root, A fragile bloom, a tender shoot. I am not the scars, the pain the past I am the love that grows steadfast.

Step ahead, the world awaits,Your courage bends but never breaks. You are not what tried to stay,You are strength, you’ll found your way.

You are not the shadows past, Not the weight that held you fast. You are more than pain once sown, A heart unchained, a life your own. The echoes may still softly call, But they will never make you fall. For in your soul, the light is bright, A fire fierce, a love in flight.

Every step a whisper strong a silent vow to move along. Through winding paths & skies unknown You carve your way, you stand alone. Not every road is paved in light, Not every climb feels just & right. Yet still you rise, you push, you grow, With every step, your strength will show.

You deserve every word of kindness, every moment of understanding, and every ounce of light in this world. Your journey, your strength, and your heart are seen.😍 I'm truly grateful to share this space with you. You are never alone. Keep shining, my beautiful friend!🙏❤️

my childhood pets as adventurers (2019)

I do not blame, I do not bow, the echoes fade, I rise somehow. A heart unchained, a soul set free, I now hold the love, that never held me.

I was only a child too young to see, that pain was not my fault to be. The world was wide the voices strong and I believed that I was wrong. I carried shame I held the weight A burden shaped by cruel fate. But time has hands that gently mend and truth stood waiting like a friend.

Through stillness soft, they drift and sway, a fleeting joy, a warm ballet. They bloom, they gleam, in quiet tone, whispering light, where love is grown. Through quiet air, they sway with grace, a moment’s joy, a warm embrace. They bloom, they shine, they gently say, Find the light in every day.

Rise with purpose, push through doubt and let every step forward remind you of the strength within!

When sorrow knocks upon your door with quiet aches you can't ignore, heavy hands hang down so low, and all the world feels cold to know. Look to the sky beyond the grey, Where light still fights to find its way. The sun still rises bold and bright, Its golden arms, hold back the night.

Wind still whispers through the trees A song of hope upon the breeze. The stars still shine the rivers run, A world still spins the day’s not done. Even when the tears may fall, Remember love still hears your call. A single smile, faint though small, makes shadows lose their thrall.

Nestled deep in blankets blue, A gentle world, a hushed view. Softest fur and sleepy eyes, A quiet glow where comfort lies. The light embraces golden strands, A tiny heart in peaceful lands. No rush, no worry, just pure delight, Held in warmth, embraced in light.

Pure happiness wrapped in fur! 🐶✨ Nothing beats the joy of a fluffy friend bringing light to the day.

Oh weary heart lift up your gaze, The sun still sings in golden blaze. The stars still whisper soft & true, & every light remembers you. The trees still sway with gentle grace, The rivers run in love’s embrace. The winds still dance the flowers bloom, There’s magic breaking the gloom.

If sadness lingers soft & slow, Like clouds that dull the sun’s bright glow, Look up, my dear and you will find The sky still paints a world so kind The stars still wink the moon still beams The rivers hum in silver streams The flowers stretch the sparrows play The earth still sings in its own way.

Softly rests the pale bloom’s grace A quiet glow in time’s embrace. Its petals hush so pure, so bright Bathed in waves of silver light. The air stands still the moment true A silent dance in gentle hue. No rush, no sound, just peace so deep, Where petals dream and shadows sleep.

A quiet vase, a fleeting shade, on flowered walls, where dreams are laid. The petals sigh, the shadows play, A dance of time in soft array. The roses glow their whispers sweet, as shadow bends in light’s retreat. A fleeting brush, a ghostly trace, Softly held in time’s embrace.

A flicker soft, burning bright, Love emerges chasing night. Through shadows cast, its gleaming flame, A whispered truth A cherished name. It weaves through hearts unseen yet bold, A thread of warmth, A touch of gold. Like rivers winding deep & wide, It shapes the world a faithful guide.

Within you burns a radiant spark, A guiding light through shadows dark. When trials press and winds may roar, Your strength will rise, forevermore.

No matter where you are or what you’re feeling, there’s always light waiting to greet you around the corner. Even on the coldest days, your warmth and happiness are a gift to yourself and those around you.

I am someone who finds joy in the little things, cherishes the beauty of connection, and spreads light with kindness and gratitude. With a heart full of curiosity and a spirit ready to embrace life’s wonders, I aim to leave every moment brighter than I found it.

Each dawn unfolds a fresh new hue, A world of wonders waits for you. With every step A dream takes flight, You're built to conquer, Shine, Ignite. Hold your heart, it knows the way Through stormy skies, to brighter days. Believe in you, the magic's there, In all you touch, in all you dare.

Take this moment to breathe deeply and remind yourself that you’re strong, worthy, and surrounded by possibilities. Life has a way of surprising us with beautiful moments when we least expect them. 😊✨

Beneath sky where daydreams sail Through fields that tell a fleeting tale. Lonely gate stands bold & free, whispering secrets for all to see. The meadow hums a song of old Its grasses gleam like threads of gold. A path unfolds where dreams take flight, guiding hearts day & night.

Yet deeper still, the roots entwine, A harmony both yours and mine. Through trials passed and lessons learned, The fire within, our souls has burned. The stars above, they softly gleam, Guiding us through every dream. With grateful hearts, we rise anew, To paint the world in vibrant hue.

Raise your heart, let joy take flight and bask in this celestial night. For grateful souls in blissful streams find beauty woven in their dreams.

In every breath a quiet song A gratitude that hums along. For life’s bright sun the gentle rain The joy that soothes the love’s refrain. Through fleeting days & endless nights We’re wrapped in wonder Bound in light. The smallest gift a cherished view The happiness in all we do.

Fractured mirrors shine, Threads of selves woven as one, Harmony awaits.

This week has been heavy for me, as it marked the birthdays of my nan, my dad, and my sister. I'm carrying a lot of grief while remembering them and celebrating their lives. It's a bittersweet mix of love, loss, and cherished memories

A smile a mask a crafted guise hiding pain from prying eyes. The world sees light a cheerful tone While inside I’m breaking alone. A hollow echo fills my chest, Worthless whispers steal my rest. Yet even shattered hearts can mend, Through time, through love and those who tend.

Silent sorrow, hidden well, In echoes of a childhood hell. But through the cracks, light dares to stream, A whisper of a brighter dream.

A smile a mask a fleeting show, behind the veil the shadows grow. Each post a canvas bright & bold but hides the stories left untold. The childhood scars the quiet pain, A storm within that leaves its stain. Yet words escape, they shape they bend, A fleeting echo, a hope to mend.

Facets intertwine, echoed voices share one shell, Unity seeks peace.

From shadows we rise, Breaking chains, reclaiming light, Strength renews the soul.

Through storms roots deepen, each fall a lesson reborn, Strength blooms quietly.

Hope whispers low yet echoes wide a steadfast star a guide inside. Through storms it holds though battered torn, a promise fresh with every morn. Cling to hope when days seem gray, night must bow to breaking day. Light endures & never dies, Soul's bright flame that always flies.

So wear your scars as branches wide, a testament to storms survived, and know each ring within your tree, Holds the stories, of pure strength and victory.
