"They say that somewhere, distance unknown, your soulmate is watching the same stars as you are. Looking up into the sky, I see the moon and stars as nothing more than big balls of gas and stone and fire. What could they know of love? What could they know of heartbreak? What could they possibly know of giving someone your all and it not being enough? I know that feeling far too well. For the past year and a half, I have been stuck in an abusive, toxic relationship. A relationship that, at one point, made me give up on everything. No hope, I deserve this, no way out, this is the end. But it wasn't the end, and here I am now. I may be wounded, but I am finding hope in the small things in life. And although I no longer believe in soulmates, I do appreciate the stars and all of their indifference."

There are a lot of things you don't really think about until they happen to you. Take rape, for instance. I always thought, "That won't happen to me. I have a boyfriend. I trust him. He would never take advantage of me like that..." I couldn't have been more wrong. Love in this day and age is often confused for manipulation and abuse. The warning signs are here. The things we say will tell us everything that is wrong. You are worth more than what you think you are. It's not your fault. If they tell you otherwise, get out. Burn the bridge. Always remember someone is waiting for you to walk into their life. Someone needs you. Someone loves you. Getting away from all of the wrong people and finding the right ones could save you. I can promise you right now that it saved me. These are the journal entries and selected poems from my first experience of love that left a unpleasant taste in my mouth- quite literally. I am putting this out for the whole world to see because I hope everyone will learn from my experience. People can see. We have no excuses to continue living our lives in ignorance. ...WARNING... HARMFUL THEMES INCLUDING MENTION OF SUICIDE, SELF HARM, AND RAPE. THIS HAS EXPLICIT CONTENT. RECOVERY AND AWARENESS IS THE PURPOSE OF SHARING. DO NOT READ IF THESE THEMES ARE OFFENSIVE OR HARMFUL TO YOU.
