#mywhy #thatsmywhy #dvsurvivor

6/19 Edited to

Abuse can profoundly affect a person's life, leaving scars that run deeper than many realize. From personal experience, understanding my 'why'—the reason I fight to overcome my past trauma—has been a crucial part of my healing journey. Recognizing that abuse had touched my body more than love was a painful truth, but it also became the catalyst for reclaiming my life. In sharing my story as a domestic violence survivor, I want others to know they are not alone. Finding supportive communities, like those gathered under hashtags such as #mywhy and #dvsurvivor, helped me connect with people who truly understood my pain and resilience. These connections created a sense of belonging and empowered me to speak out. Healing is not a linear process, and it takes time to separate the damage of abuse from a person’s worth. Self-love, therapy, and surrounding oneself with positive influences are vital steps toward recovery. Embracing my why meant focusing on my future, protecting my well-being, and spreading awareness to help others break free from similar cycles. If you or someone you know is struggling with domestic violence or abuse, reaching out for help can be the first step toward a new beginning. It can be scary, but the strength in knowing your why makes all the difference in moving forward with hope and courage.
