Seeing that one word on the screen of my phone made my heart sink to the pit of my stomach. A flurry of feelings pranced around my insides as I realized I was beginning to emulate Alice as she went into the rabbit hole.

My head knew that words such as “forever” and “always” did not exist in my world, for those words held empty promises leading blindly down a path of fabricated hope.

I allowed myself to indulge in the feeling a moment longer and entertained the contradiction of my truth. As my heart returned to my chest, I felt vulnerable; and I liked it.
