vyra flowers. ( strong trigger warning )
vyra ( pronounced vie-rah ) daisy flowers.
twenty-six ⨟ born august 10, 1992.
⚘ vyra's father was only in her life for the first three years ( barely, considering her parents split before she was born ), then he suffered some psychotic break ( he suffers from schizophrenia ) and completely forgot about vyra & her mother and spent the next few years in a mental institution. even now, he hasn't tried to contact vyra or reach out in any sort of way, and neither has she.
her mother, on the other hand, spent the first five years with her. she was an alcoholic and a drug addict for the majority of vyra's adolescence. in those five years, vyra witnessed her mother try & fail to commit suicide on several occasions via overdose, cutting, and even hanging one time. these memories are vague to vyra now, but she still remembers some moments as though they are burned into her subconscious.
her mother went to prison for five years shortly after that for assault and possession. vyra was then in full legal custody with her great-grandparents ( her grandparents both died tragically in freak accidents a year apart from one another when her mother was only 5 - 6 ). they were very sheltered and religious, but they were good people who loved vyra very much.
when her mother was released from prison, she went to Mexico & came back home pregnant and the great-grandparents allowed vyra's mother ( their granddaughter ) into the house to help her raise the baby, vyra's half sister. vyra was eleven when halle was born, and her mother was sober and doing really well, working a steady job.
however, it didn't last long ― it never did ― and her mother went down a path of drugs, sex, and alcohol for years & years, off and on, damaging the trust and love of her daughters.
as an adult, vyra never touched many drugs ( besides pot & the occasional drink, she's even picked up a cigarette habit ) because she's seen what they did to her mother ( who died of a heroin overdose when vyra was twenty-two ).
her great-grandparents died when vyra was twenty-one & she moved far from home way before that ( mainly to escape the toxicity of her mother ) on her eighteenth birthday and made a life for herself. she's worked hard as a waitress in many different places saving up money and meeting new people. her road has been long and bumpy. vyra suffers from anxiety, depression & borderline personality disorder and struggles to maintain healthy relationships. sometimes she uses drugs and alcohol as a crutch too much, but she never allows her habit to overcome her.
she has severe trust issues & abandonment issues stemming from the trauma given to her by her mother and being cheated on by an ex-fianceé and ghosted by someone who she believed had deep, real feelings for her. she has so much love to give yet she's afraid to give it. she feels like she isn't enough and she'll never be good enough for anyone or anything. she lacks self confidence & motivation but she's awkward and sweet, gentle and kind.
