I know that there is a lot going on in your life right now. And I know you’ve been through even more. You have been nothing but kind to everyone around you but people used that. They used your emotions, your sensitivity, your generosity and kindness. But most of all, they used your empathy. I…
Women tolerate so much in relationships these days. We let men toy around with our feelings, never knowing what to do to protect ourself. We make up these rules that make us seem even more insecure than we actually are and we tend to think that the boundaries that we have set are actually healthy….
Here I am. Sitting alone in a dark room, wiping away my tears because I couldn’t find a way to hold them in anymore. There is no way I can hide it anymore. I am hurt. I am hurt by the person who means the most to me. I have been hurt by someone who…
