#ImMyOwnKey

I gave you years like kindling, stacked them neat beside your silence. Watched the smoke of my own hurting curl against a sky you never looked up at. I begged for rain. You handed me dust. So I became the storm myself — boots on the hard ground, voice like thunder, heart finally choosing me. Your door closed. The whole world opened. Now my days are stitched with sunlight, my laughter grows like wild grass. I carry my scars like medals, won in the war that broke my soul. I am not the broken girl you left behind. We are the universe who walked away. And built a better life in the space where you used to be.

12 months; 12 rings ❤️ #ImMyOwnKey

I've spent this time reflecting, healing, growing, and building a new life he'll never touch. Grateful that Daddy, Shadow, and the rest of my lovies have helped me keep moving forward ❤️

#Art & #writing has also been helping ❤️

I've been super busy with other stuff and this got put off for a few days :(

10 months; 10 rings. #ImMyOwnKey

Took the time today while I painted to remind myself how far I've come, how much work I've done, and how much my life has improved. Couldn't have done it without my boys and my lovies ❤️

9 months; 9 rings. #ImMyOwnKey

I admit, this month has been difficult. I'm still working through some things and some of the firsts without them are hitting hard. The firsts "after" are always the hardest. But I'm still moving forward 💓

These last 6 months have been indescribable. So much learning, growth, #love, and #support.

It wouldn't have been possible without my support system (Daddy, Shadow, and the rest of my lovies). I'm so grateful ❤️ My heart is *full* 💞

The most "me" I've felt in like... Months. Years? Idk. I rarely post pictures of my face anymore. It's alien to me.

But the Dummy be Dummyin' today 🥰
Big thanks to My Guys ❤️
