Snow and ice receding to reveal sand

The spring melting it reminds me of hope. Clarity of hope without lies. #reclaimingme #dvsurvivor

Brown hardwood floor

The sound of tiny feet on the floor. #DVsurvivor #reclaimingme #glimmers

Huge fluffy snowflakes fall so slowly to the ground, the world is quietly wrapping around me like a hug. The wonder of nature. Nostalgia for a childhood memory faded into only feeling. A glimmer of safety. #reclaimingme #DVsurvivor #romanticizelife

A tree on the right in front of a bridge in a park with a lake and fog clouds the distance

I went for a walk alone and stopped at the bench in the park. Another foggy day. Walkers said hello to me as they passed by. I feel seen again. #reclaimingme #DVsurvivor

Three flowers. A red rose, an orange rose, and an orange daisy

Buying myself flowers. A moment of self love. A memory forgotten restored. And a piece of myself sighs content, chasing echoes of fear away. Colour. I remember colour. I remember love. ##DVsurvivor #reclaimingme

An open window with a winter scene

A crisp wintery breeze from the window. Letting out that stale air. Why did I stop opening the windows? What a beautiful breath of fresh air. #reclaimingme #DVsurvivor #joy

A night to myself at the theater. The foggy atmosphere suited the film I chose and I found a piece of myself again. #DVsurvivor #reclaimingme
