In 2019, I Will Finally Feel Alive

I am going to say yes to adventure. I am going to face fears with a war cry. I am not going to give my what-ifs more credit than they deserve.

I Will Never Trust You

I will never trust you, because I will never understand why you would settle for someone like me.

Screw Forgiveness, Screw Second Chances

When you ask me to forgive someone toxic, someone abusive, someone who has crossed unacceptable lines, it feels like you are making excuses for them. It feels like you are trying to punish me for sticking up for myself. It feels like you are telling me all of the hurtful things they did to me were okay.
