I definitely feel you.
I hope you know there's always ways out. There's still time.
The thing I have come to realize is that the thing you fear more is often the thing you need more than anything. With that, you can one day know freedom. We all can. One day, this pain will be something we look back on.
This is not the kind of reference a Cool Guy like me would make, but I like the ending of Toy Story 3, where all the toys are bracing to be incinerated by that fire. I like to think that's what we're all doing. The world is held together by the love of a very few people, like fellow birthday boy James Baldwin once said.
I got your six, Madison.
