The fear of getting hurt again has only led you to hurt yourself.
come out now.
come out while there's still some living left to be done.
this person who hurt you doesn't deserve to still dictate your life decisions.
your discipline and dedication to structure is an illusion.
you're still powerless because you're letting certain instances define your life.
if you really want to be in control again, you really need to learn to let go.
it's the only way.
