“…Sexual abuse is no object to age, gender or sexual orientation.”
-Journalist Justina Bakutyte
In the first part of this post, I explored some possible reasons why people who are abused stay in those relationships longer than a person looking on from the outside might think they should.

By definition, hitting rock bottom is losing everything possible to the extent that ascension of any kind is ostensibly impossible.
“There is no reality, only perception. Identify the filters through which you view the world.”

Imagine this scenario. You’re sitting at your desk, on the phone. You want to write down a number so you reach for a pen and a piece of paper. But as you reach for your pen, it becomes smaller and smaller till you wonder if it’s even there or just a hallucination. With some struggle, you pick up the pen. You reach for a piece of paper but now that seems to messing with your mind too. The paper becomes bigger and bigger till it covers the whole room.
Are you going crazy? Relax. You’re not.
“Objects in mirror are closer than they appear.”
