**The Fire Within Me**
**The fire within me**
I am afraid -
not of the darkness,
not of the storm
that breaks through the night.
But of it,
of strange hands coming,
quietly, uninvited,
and try
to extinguish the glow in my eyes -
this wild flickering,
that lets me breathe.
Let me burn,
even if it blinds you.
Let me blaze,
even if it frightens you.
Because I am not a spark,
that can be extinguished -
just a star,
that awakens in its own light.

Emotional Border Letter - Derya's promise to herself
You don't need to understand anymore.
It's not for you to weigh, measure, question the feelings I'm experiencing.
I opened up to you, I wanted you to hear my voice.
But every time you tried to pull me into your story.
By ignoring my story.
Now I am silent. But this is not a defeat.
This silence is not an escape.
It's a limit.
It's my right to protect myself.
It's my right to choose my inner peace.
This is my determination to stand on my own side from now on.
Keep everything that is rightfully yours.
I will no longer carry burdens that are not mine.
I let go of guilt, obligation, shame.
Because I want to walk only with my essence.
I owe only my own heart.
And now I pay that debt:
I forgive, love and protect myself.
This is my inner farewell letter.
Not to you, but to myself, whom I have silenced in the past.
I exist now.
And that's how I'm okay.

Also my greatest fear
One of my greatest fears is I will die without finding a single soul who knows what to do with all this fire behind my eyes.

Help a queer artist leave their toxic household this pride month, maybe??
Hi y'all!! So my mom threatened to kick me out a couple weeks ago, and now I'm trying to move out on my own terms before that happens. I have friends a few states over who've offered to take me in, but before that happens I'd like to try getting a little more financially stable.
I am currently taking commissions, examples of which you can see below! I'm willing to draw OCs, fanart, DnD, furries, etc.
Or, if you'd like to support me on a more regular basis, I also have a patreon: https://www.patreon.com/DovelyDraws
For more info about commissions, pls check the link in my pinned post! And if you wouldn't mind, I'd really appreciate y'all reblogging this post for me. 🙏 Thank you!!
That's the only right thing, even if it hurts. Better to be alone than in fake relationships
My Mom once told me that she walked into a room where a couple of friends were discussing her, they didn’t know she was there. She shook her head, smiled and walked away. 🕊
My Mom also told me that she had a friend who talked bad about her, she never knew that Mom found out, Mom never mentioned it. She smiled and walked away from this friendship. 🕊
She told me she had family who chose to shift her out of their life because she stood up for herself for a change. And because she stopped crossing oceans for them when they would not even help her cross a bridge. She smiled, shook her head and walked away. 🕊
So I asked her how she could just walk away from people that betrayed her while pretending to be her friends or family? 🕊
She answered that every time she came to a crossroad like that, she had to decide who will be going forward on her journey with her. This showed her who she cannot take along with her. 🕊
So she explained to me that you should never get mad at a person who betrays you, even in the name of friendship or family. Just gracefully bow out and enjoy your journey with all the new people God puts in their place. 🕊
"I choose not to respond to these messages.
Because it's a way for me to keep my soul.
Not responding is not disrespectful,
an expression of my self-respect.
The guilt is not mine.
The burden I carry no longer belongs to me.
I want to heal, not fight.
And that's why I hear myself most where I am silent."
✨ Hıdrellez Rhyme ✨🤲🌿
On the eve when spring takes flight,
Hızır walks in golden light.
Wishes tied to branches sway,
Hope will blossom with the day.
Leap the fire, let shadows burn,
Luck will turn as seasons turn.
Dance upon the waking earth,
Miracles are given birth.
Water whispers, winds conspire
Hıdrellez sparks the heart’s desire🤲🌸
Maybe only to the person who is meant to be your person but still no perfect at all
“I don’t know a perfect person. I only know flawed people who are still worth loving.”
— Unknown
I tell myself that every time
“What if I write it and it’s bad-”
WHAT IF YOU WRITE IT AND ITS GOOD? WHAT IF YOU WRITE IT AND ITS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANTED? WHAT THEN????
