Alone with You

by Aly Martinez

It was time for me to find strength where fear had once inhabited. To rediscover who I was when I wasn’t forced into existing in a constant state of fight or flight. The best part was that I got to reinvent myself on my own terms, with my own goals, and I didn’t have to ask permission from anyone.

This is black-and-white thinking. You’re assuming that because it happened once it’s always going to be that way. There is no truth to be found in always and never.”
