I’ve had a hard time opening up about this, but I spoke with someone from here who was incredibly kind and gave me some really good advice. It gave me the courage to start opening up. Today, I shared part of my story with a friend—not the whole story, but a little about what happened, who was involved, and why I’ve been absent. I also explained why I haven’t had the time or energy to meet up with him.

I think it might have been a bit overwhelming for him to hear, and he didn’t quite know how to respond. But it was important for me to do it for myself. I hope this is the beginning of opening up more and maybe even starting therapy.

So, what I’m trying to say is that I’ve received a lot of help from here. So, thank you so much. 🥰
