A Journey of Resilience

I'd jump out of a plane without a parachute before I'd go back to that

relationship. People think I'm exaggerating, but they don't understand what it's

like when someone slowly erases you. Every morning felt like swallowing glass. My hands would

shake just hearing their car pull up. I was terrified of spiders my

whole life, but now I'd hold a tarantula with my bare hands

if it meant never feeling that small again. Fear is temporary. It spikes and

fades. But abuse lives in your bones long after you escape.

It rewires how you see yourself. So yeah, bring on the heights,
