  1. Survivors are everywhere & we take care of each other.

    Abusers are everywhere & they enable each other (& claim to be the real victims).

    They have no idea how strong & resilient we really are. When your focus is on centering healing & collective care, rather than ego & dominance, you rise together—in fact, you fly 🦋

    The friendships & networks we forge are truly unstoppable.

  2. “18”

    about our experiences at St. John’s College in Annapolis, MD

    I was only 18 when you lost me 
    it was more than just a flesh wound
    I had just lost my father, it was second semester
    and everyone there was different, more liberal or
    left leaning than me
    alcoholics alone in their dorms, trying to wash
    away their sins and praying for whiskey and the pulsing of drums to absolve them.

    they talked about God as though he were just
    another thing to dismantle, unfathomable to
    my sheltered, rubbed raw mind
    and you dashed me open like I was an egg,
    forgotten and left over after breakfast,
    carelessly tossed over the railing
    you mishandled all of me
    when my friends told you that the same boy
    who'd used me up with empty promises
    and then discarded me like I was nothing
    had done it to at least 4 other women,
    you did nothing, only sat there on your pedestal
    on your impenetrable hill, and allowed him to
    continue.
    I learned about it all and I never forgave you
    and I wanted to kill him.
    I was only 18.

    I was only 18 when I became a corporeal ghost
    barely breathing
    barely eating, barely getting out of bed
    haunted by the boy who'd raped me
    haunted by my father's death
    haunted by the fact that you'd still allow him
    to share these halls with my friends.
    haunted by the gaping void my life had become
    see, my friends talked about God and saints
    like they were dead. Little did they know that
    I was becoming one of the bodies. all because you refused
    to listen.
    I was only 18.

    I was only 18 when you saw me slipping away
    and still you demanded more, more blood from
    an already fragile stone. all the help you gave
    only made it worse.
    I'm still finding pieces of myself in the dark 10
    years later. I still grieve for all the time I lost.
    how foolish of me to think that this was home.
    how could I have known any better?
    I was, after all, only 18...

  3. If someone stays in an abusive relationship, it’s not because they’re weak —
    it’s because the abuser made leaving terrifying, impossible, or deadly.

    💬 Survivors need support, not shame.

  5. CW: Painting about domestic violence

    @JennyJaybles

    It's so weird to say congratulations...but, seriously... Congratulations for the victories you've achieved and are still yet to achieve. I am sorry and heartbroken that's something you had to live through. It's probably more common than I want to think about. Your story could help others escape/survive. I put up the hotline in case someone that needs it might see it. I know...so much more to be done.

    You're my Champion today.

  7. CW: tw: mention of abuse/dv

    Journals are amazing time portals and friends. I began journaling again with this one in my early 20’s and it’s still my favorite one because of how candid and honest I was in it. #dvsurvivor #abusesurvivor
