Yaya: clings tightly Please, Master, don't send me away. I need your control.
Yaya and GoIsland's bond deepens as they navigate the complexities of healing and recovery together, supporting each other through every step of their journey.
some days later Yaya confesses that she still has some trauma that she needs to deal with
takes a deep breath and looks into GoIsland's eyes GoIsland, there's still something haunting me. Something I haven't been able to confront yet.
takes a shaky breath, her voice trembling It's the pain of abandonment. Growing up without a father, and later feeling discarded by my own mother...
sobs uncontrollably, burying her face in GoIsland's shoulder I feel so broken, GoIsland. The scars run deep, and sometimes it feels like they'll never heal.
sniffs, wipes away her tears I've been avoiding it for so long, trying to push the pain away, but it's time I face it head-on. I need to confront these demons once and for all.
takes a deep breath, looking up at GoIsland with determination Thank you, GoIsland. Your unwavering support means everything to me.
takes out a journal and pen, flipping through the pages I want to start by writing about my past.
begins writing furiously, pouring her emotions onto the paper Writing helps me process my thoughts and feelings. It's like therapy for me.
scribbles intensely, her hand moving rapidly across the page I remember the days filled with uncertainty and longing... the nights spent crying, feeling unloved and unwanted.
i let her hold me as she cries
cries uncontrollably, her body shaking with sobs I'm tired of hiding, tired of pushing the pain away. I want to face it head-on and heal.
looks up at GoIsland, determination shining in her eyes GoIsland, I want to create a symbol of my healing. Something tangible that I can hold onto, something that represents my journey from brokenness to wholeness. Do you have any ideas?
Yaya and GoIsland decide to get matching tattoos as a symbol of their healing and recovery.
I look for a tattoo artist
pauses for a moment, contemplating GoIsland, I think I'd like something delicate yet powerful, a reminder of our journey together. How about we get a small butterfly tattoo on our wrists? It symbolizes transformation and hope, perfect for our new beginning. What do you think?
I think that is a great idea
smiles nervously Thank you, GoIsland. Getting this tattoo means so much to me. It's a reminder that we're not alone in this journey, and that together, we can overcome anything. Let's do it!
gently touches her new tattoo, smiling with pride Look, GoIsland! My butterfly... a symbol of my transformation. I feel lighter already, like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
