A bad relationship does nothing but chip away little pieces of you; most so small you don't even realize it's happening until you look down to find this empty hole.
By the time I left my home I couldn't even cry anymore. My home had become a prison to me.
What I can't understand is how do you protect a person you hate so much but yet still love them just enough that even when it's all over you still let them make you cry.
Numbness with the occasional, brief meltdown is how I would describe my journey to freedom. But my saving grace with this small, innocent child and with the feel of her tiny hand inside mine I swallowed down hard and held it together knowing because of her I couldn't break.
I have learned so much about myself - but most importantly I have learned my own worth.
I've learned two halves don't make a whole; that while people can better themselves, you can't ever really change them. People can't hurt you unless you let them; Numbness is a feeling; and Love alone is not enough.
