Love Is to Feel Free
I recently got out of an extremely volatile, toxic, unhealthy relationship with my ex-boyfriend of ten months. Throughout this relationship, I was controlled without realising I was being controlled such as one situation whereby I posted a photograph of myself on social media—in this case, Snapchat, wearing shorts and a t-shirt as the weather was gorgeous outside, and he almost bullied me into taking it down by calling me misogynistic and detrimental names such as slag or slut, and generally bring me down for photographs of myself by calling me hurtful names and this occurred on several occasions, bringing me to my next point of also being ridiculed, taunted, belittled, and degraded within the duration of my relationship in which he would tell me no other boy would want to be with me, find me remotely attractive in any way, tell me only certain types of boys would go for me and just to use me, he would tell me I was too skinny as I am of slim build and would use this against me by calling me 'anorexic' etc., say I looked disgusting without any makeup on, convince me that I really was unattractive by lying to me and telling me his friends thought the exact same thing as he did, and he would just generally verbally abuse me in this way until I found it difficult to look in the mirror without hating what I saw.

To Love, to Be Loved
To love, to be loved. Love is kind. Love is supportive. Love is caring. Love is honest. Love is faithful. Love is patient. Love is reassuring. Love is not easy, but love will continue to love even when love is most difficult. Love knows the difference between a mistake and a choice. Love is gentle. Love is committed. Love is happiness. Love needs time to itself sometimes. Love needs space to breathe. Love needs love to accept this. Love will accept this. Love is appreciative. Love is understanding. Love will hold you. Love will keep you warm. Love is the sun that shines through the curtains of the morning when you wake up having finally slept through an entire night. Love is that simplicity.
