Labyrinth

"Life is a fickle thing. It's capricious and unpredictable by nature, sometimes going away without the slightest warning. When this happens, it can feel like a gut punch, robing you of how little peace you have in your life. Life doesn't hesitate to throw you into a spiral of confusion and suffering, making you a prisoner of your sorrow."

That was the intro of a book Belle read once. And she totally agrees with it. Life is cruel and she's experienced it first hand.

The past 3 years has been a cycle for Belle. A cycle of coping with her traumas and running and hiding away from her past. She's been told many times that she should face her past to able to move on. But she knows, things are better said than done. She's been avoiding going to the city in fear of being recognized and for him to find her again.

Don't get her wrong, her past boyfriend never did anything wrong to her. She's just afraid to face him once again after running away from him with no explanation at all after one incident that happened that changed her entire life.

Belle's been trying to move forward in her life many times. She got herself a lover whom she loves dearly and so does he. They've been together for a good one year and three months. Even though they are very open to each other, she just can't seem to tell him about her past.

She just keeps finding herself in a labyrinth of her past and has been trying to find the way out aimlessly.

She wonders if she will be able to escape at all.
