Grey sky, with a low hung full moon. On the left side is a black tree with purple leaves, white snow on top. On a branch sits two love birds.

The thing that makes love so special is that we give those we love the knowledge and power to hurt us. We open our deepest vulnerabilities, share our traumas and fears in the hopes that they will never use them against us - with the deliberate intention to maim and hurt.
Thank you to the @torontowritersc for the feature. Posted @withregram • @torontowritersc Meet Manivillie. She is a Toronto-based poet and writer. Her work has been featured on CBC's Metro Morning, and has been published in the anthologies, Beyond the Journey; Spring Forward; Obra Artifact; and The Big Art Book.
Today is Pink Shirt Day!
No words of wisdom- just missing the summer vibes and calling the sun. Taken on a rare picnic in 2020 before one of many lockdowns.
Healing is messy, painful and breaks you in so many ways. Yet- every time you heal parts of yourself, you own more of the things that make you amazing. Can’t wait to see your light.
One of my favourite pictures of 2020, @sathyatk , took it during a birthday trip to the cottage.
