One day on imgflip, I met a guy named Josh.
Josh seemed like the perfect match. We were friends for a while. Eventually, I confessed my feelings to him. We started dating, and I fell head over heels in love.
But here's the twist. As time went on, I began to see a different side of Josh. He was rude, disrespectful, and treated me poorly. It broke my heart to realize that I had fallen for the wrong guy. He would say "God made you a woman for a reason"(which turned out to be wrong anyway.) Josh would talk about committing suicide every time I wanted to break up, so I had become trapped in the cycle of guilt.
I ended up not talking to him for a few months because I was in the hospital, only allowed to talk to my parents and my lawyer. I almost forgot about him, but every now and then I'd crack a joke about my experiences with him. I missed him, but people were horrified.
Instead of letting this experience crush my spirit, I made a choice. I decided that I deserved better, that I deserve love and respect. With strength and determination, I found the courage to walk away from the toxic relationship.
It wasn't easy, mind you. I went through a rollercoaster of emotions. There were tears, moments of doubt, and nights where I questioned my worth. Even anger. But through it all, I held onto the belief that I am worthy of love and happiness.
