A little moment of gratitude. My first cover with this magazine has now grown into four covers. I never expected that when the first opportunity came along. Thank you to everyone who has supported my work and believed in what I create. 💛

Still a little surreal to see that what started as my first cover for this magazine has now become four. I don't see this as an achievement of my own as much as a reflection of the kindness, encouragement, and support I've received along the way. Thank you for being part of the journey. 🤍

Theodore reminds me that love doesn't need words. Sometimes it looks like a cozy corner, a favourite toy, and the quiet comfort of being exactly where you belong. ❤️🐾

My pampas grass's glow-up deserves its own reality show. Before: "Please don't die." After: "I own this garden now." Proof that patience, sunshine, and a little love can work absolute miracles. 🌾✨

Graphite dust all over my knuckles and two pencils currently lost somewhere in my hair while Stephanie happening’s acoustic stems turn on the tape machine. His vocal courage always steadies my hands when a layout refuses to settle. What soundscapes are keeping you company today? ✏️🎶

One of the reasons I love following you is, your music, art and posts always come from a place of truth and lived experience. This is such a powerful lesson, there's much freedom in this realization. The moment we stop asking the world, who we are and start trusting ourselves, everything changes.

My self-worth isn't something other people get to decide. The moment I stopped seeking validation, I started finding peace.

You don't have to have it all figured out to take the next step Trust yourself because our world is changed by ordinary people who choose courage over fear, kindness over judgment and hope over doubt. The moment you stop trying to fit in, is the moment, you begin to truly shine.

The quiet, grinding fatigue of masking isn't always visible. It’s the micro-performances that build up until you’re running on empty, the smiling through depletion, the exhaustion of constantly staying "on". www.youtube.com/shorts/MrukE...

Every alter, every voice, and every role fits together like gears in a clock. When every part shows up with love, respect and mutual protection, that isn't just a group making songs, that is a whole fortress moving as one

In a system, a single calendar date completely fails to capture the truth of who you are. The physical body arrived on one day, but the system was forged across years of different trials.

Having a birthdate on a piece of paper but having no real "birthday" is something so many severe trauma survivors understand in their bones, even if society rarely talks about it.

They threw everything they had at us, when we were small and defenceless, and they still failed to put the fire out. Now us have the mic, our songs, our art, the notebooks, and each other. The light has already won.

Darkness Has No Substance: Darkness isn’t a force that can actively destroy light; it’s simply the absence of it. The second you turn the lights on, bring the truth to the master tracks and write honestly into your book, the darkness has nowhere left to stand.

The tragedy of trauma is that it makes someone believe their only value is either a mask or a surface image, while simultaneously whispering to themselves, they are ugly.

Stephanie Happening @stephaniehappening.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
Deciding that artists deserve to directly own, control, and get paid for their labour isn't radical, it's basic justice. Art takes vulnerability, time and emotional truth. Having that stripped away and monetized by people who never risked a single thing in the studio is completely wrong.

Stephanie Happening @stephaniehappening.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
The industry keeps artists confused exhausted & alone, delaying payouts with endless accounting tricks, handing creators fractions of a penny while executives build empires off their blood, sweat, & soul. The people who make the culture are treated like the lowest priority on the payroll.

The quiet kind. The kind that shows up in dreams. The kind that hums in the chest. The kind that feels like a bee resting on a flower, vibration, warmth, stillness. That’s healing. Not the loud kind. Not the dramatic kind. Not the kind with explanations.

Theodore always finds the calm in the middle of everything. City buzzing behind him, little heartbeat steady in the grass. He reminds me that peace isn’t a place, it’s a presence.

Life feels softer when we stop trying to outrun ourselves. I hope you get a moment tonight where everything slows down and you remember you’re allowed to feel proud of how far you’ve come. You’re doing better than you think.

I don’t create from ambition. I create because I survived things that should’ve ended me. Healing is the only stage I’m performing on right now. If my work reaches you, I hope it reminds you that surviving is still a kind of art.

I’m not trying to be perfect out here. I’m just trying to live honestly, love gently, and make things that feel like breath. If you’re healing too, I hope today gives you one small moment that reminds you you’re still here.

Stephanie Happening @stephaniehappening.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
Some days It feels like we're rebuilding ourself, from the smallest pieces, not just to be stronger, but just to be something real. Healing isn’t a comeback story, it’s parts remembering. Every time we create, we meet another part of us, that has survived, and makes us all whole.

Most of us are rebuilding from childhood or bad relationships and from moments we still don’t have words for. All trying to find a way back into our own bodies, our own truth, our own safety. A whole quiet community of people doing the same work. healing real, valid, shared and happening in silence.
021
Stephanie Happening @stephaniehappening.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Healing doesn’t look perfect. It looks like showing up on the days you’d rather disappear. It looks like telling the truth after years of silence, It looks like one breath, then another, then another. I want you to know, You're not broken, just rebuilding and every quiet step you take is a victory.

Stephanie Happening @stephaniehappening.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Living with CPTSD means carrying a body that learned fear long before it ever learned safety. But here’s the part we don’t say enough, the fact that you’re still here, still trying, still choosing even the smallest acts of care, is strength most people will never understand.🤗💪

Stephanie Happening @stephaniehappening.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Living with CPTSD means some days it feels like you’re performing life instead of living it smiling, showing up, staying “fine,” even when your body is telling a different story. I made this song and video to stand with anyone who knows that quiet heavy truth. www.youtube.com/shorts/83ViX...

I spent most of my life thinking that if I just played the part well enough, smiled on cue, said the right things kept everyone comfortable, I’d finally feel safe. When you live with CPTSD, masking isn’t a choice at first. It’s pure survival. www.youtube.com/shorts/3ThPx...

If you read one thing today let it be this. Breaking silence is never simple. It’s the slow, shaking choice to tell the truth, after years of being taught not to. Anyone who finds the strength to speak in art, in words or in music, or in any form is doing something brave.

Stephanie Happening @stephaniehappening.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
Four magazine covers, six full features, a double feature in TJLP News, streamed in over 56 countries and played on over 98 radio stations this year, all of it makes breaking my silence, about being abused worth it. My truth finally has a place to land and hopefully bring hope too. I'm not ashamed!

Stephanie Happening @stephaniehappening.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
The body remembers what our mind tried to forget. We walk through days that scream old shadows, but every time we speak our truth, the silence breaks a little. Healing isn’t loud, it’s choosing to stay, one breath at a time - Stephanie Happening

I’m revealing the abuse I've lived through, writing songs, finding my way back in music, recording, filming and producing after CSA, with DID. I'm marketing filming and doing social media too, creating through it all. This is the hardest thing I’ve ever done but it’s the truest thing I’ve ever made.

Putting my life out there in a song is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. It’s one thing to survive something, it’s another to let people see it.

“Social Life” is about that pressure to perform, to be “on,” to keep up even when your body is asking you to slow down. It’s me choosing truth over masking. I’m releasing it on CPTSD Awareness Day to stand with everyone who carries this quiet, heavy reality.

Been working with a new part who hasn’t come forward much yet, but their song wow. We’re all completely blown away by them. Fearless quiet, barely here, but the song they brought? Unreal. The whole system is stunned.
