Domestic violence isn’t always bruises and broken bones, it’s silence after shouting, fear after footsteps, and the slow erasing of a woman’s self-worth, day by day, word by word. It’s in the way she learns to shrink to not speak too loud, not smile too wide, not breathe too freely. It’s in the way she memorizes moods, walks on eggshells, and becomes fluent in the language of survival.

People ask, ‘Why doesn’t she leave?’ But they don’t see that she already left parts of herself long ago. Every insult, every threat, every apology soaked in manipulation carved scars deeper than fists ever could. You see, abuse doesn't always wear a monster’s face. Sometimes it wears a wedding ring. Sometimes it kisses your forehead before it crushes your spirit.

But here’s the truth: a woman’s silence is not her weakness.. it is the weight of every fear she has swallowed to protect the people she loves. Her survival is not just a story of pain, but of strength. Because every day she endures, she is gathering the pieces of herself. And one day, when she finally walks away not with rage, but with quiet resolve..
she becomes her own rescue, her own voice, her own shelter.
📌Let no one ever mistake her scars for shame.. they are proof that she battled a war in her own home and chose to live. And that choice, however late it comes, is not just brave... it is revolutionary.

“If I looked like you - I’d love myself.”

No bestie, you’d still tear your body apart, because you look at yourself with the male/society’s gaze.
You look at me with the feminine gaze.

You deserve to be looked at through the feminine gaze with adoration. Stop staring at yourself with eyes ready to rip yourself apart - and start looking at your body how you look at art.

Search for the beauty, stare in awe of the body that has gotten you here, give yourself the opportunity to exist without your own constant scrutiny.

You deserve that.

If you have been feeling extra tired and or exhausted this week, here’s why….

EARTH IS BEING ROCKED - AND EVERY LIVING THING CAN FEEL IT.
A G4 geomagnetic storm is in full swing

The KP index just hit 9, one of the highest levels on record.

The planet's magnetic field is under extreme stress, and the Auroral oval is lighting up the entire northern hemisphere.

When storms like this hit, the energy doesn't just stay in the sky — it ripples through everything connected to Earth's field, including us.

You may feel it as:

- pressure in the head or ears
- sudden waves of fatigue or energy
- anxiety, restlessness, or vivid dreams
- sleep disruption or heart palpitations
Animals often react too - birds flying erratically, pets acting anxious, wildlife disoriented.
They sense the Magnetic Shift before we even realize it's happening.

This is more than space weather — it's planetary resonance.

Stay grounded. Breathe.

You’re allowed to leave any story you don’t find yourself in. You’re allowed to leave any story you don’t love yourself in.

You’re allowed to leave a city that has dimmed your light instead of making you shine brighter, you’re allowed to pack all your bags and start over somewhere else and you’re allowed to redefine the meaning of your life.
You’re allowed to quit the job you hate even if the world tells you not to and you’re allowed to search for something that makes you look forward to tomorrow and to the rest of your life.

You’re allowed to leave someone you love if they’re treating you poorly, you’re allowed to put yourself first if you’re settling and you’re allowed to walk away when you’ve tried over and over again but nothing has changed.

You’re allowed to let toxic friends go, you’re allowed to surround yourself with love, and people who encourage and nurture you. You’re allowed to pick the kind of energy you need in your life.

You’re allowed to forgive yourself for your biggest and smallest mistakes and you’re allowed to be kind to yourself, you’re allowed to look in the mirror and actually like the person you see.

You’re allowed to set yourself free from your own expectations.

We sometimes look at leaving as a bad thing or associate it with giving up or quitting, but sometimes leaving is the best thing you can do for yourself.
Leaving allows you to change directions, to start over, to rediscover yourself and the world. Leaving sometimes saves you from staying stuck in the wrong place with the wrong people.

Leaving opens a new door for change, growth, opportunities and redemption.

You always have the choice to leave until you find where you belong and what makes you happy.

You’re even allowed to leave the old you behind and reinvent yourself.

Forgive yourself
for what you had to do to survive.
Forgive yourself for who you were
before you knew better.

Forgive yourself
for being fallible, broken,
for being less than perfect.

Touch the earth
in your small humanness.
Feel the dirt beneath your feet,
between your fingers,
and how your tears water
the parched, cracked soil.

Forgive yourself
for not being more,
for not knowing more,
for learning through experience,
or the hard way.

For what you did to survive life’s winters,
across life’s thin ice.
For your mistakes.

You survived.
You are here.

And in the forgiveness,
let your hands reach down
to soothe your own broken heart,
and from there,
the broken hearts of others.

For we grow humble in our falls,
compassionate through our imperfection,
not our perfection.

Forgive yourself.
Let the weight of these lessons
hold you firmly
in their dark wisdom
to the earth —

And from there,
like a sky of shining lanterns,

set your soul free.
