Leaving
The decision to leave was not sudden—but it became unavoidable.
Over time, the environment grew increasingly restrictive and unsafe. What once felt like home no longer offered protection.
Leaving meant stepping into the unknown, carrying only what could be taken in a single moment.
Waiting
The journey did not end with departure.
Instead, it entered a long and uncertain phase. Temporary locations, unfamiliar surroundings, and the constant question: what comes next?
During this time, support systems became essential—not only for practical needs, but for emotional resilience.
Safety
Arrival did not erase the past—but it created space for a future.
In a new environment, there is now the opportunity to rebuild—step by step.
Community connections, stability, and a sense of belonging are slowly taking shape.
