i took up writing again after a nearly five year break from pursuing it seriously, and am updating (very slowly) on my AO3 account - dokyuneyes

i have a job that pays me well and has allowed me to support my community

i started HRT last april and am now approaching a year on treatment

i will be graduating from my first (!!!) degree in may

i got accepted into an art school last december (!!!) and i'm starting a new degree in june (!!!)

alongside writing i've taken up reading again, but also building a whole collection of art magazines and artbooks for study in preparation for my new course

I know you probably see a lot online, but if you could take just a moment… I’d be so grateful.

💫 A reblog of my pinned post could help our story reach someone who cares.

🌿 And if you’re in a place to give, even a small donation could bring comfort to my daughter and help us feel safe again.

@sajagz, thank you for listening.

Even gentle support creates strength.

From one heart to another — thank you 🤍

We used to have a home. 🏚 A simple place, but it was filled with love. Now it’s gone. What remains are memories, silence, and an overwhelming fear of what tomorrow may bring.

Each day, I wake up not knowing if we will make it through the next. My daughter should be learning to walk, to smile at strangers, to feel safe in her world — but instead, she’s learning to live in the middle of a war zone. 🕊️

I’m not writing this to ask for pity. I’m sharing our truth because silence won’t protect us. Maybe, through this message, someone will hear us — and care. 🤍

If you feel moved to share our story or offer support, it would mean more than words can say. Every kind act ripples outward. ✨
