Isolation Period

*Deep Sigh*

Let’s just say I’ve been careless with my feelings and my heart recently. I’ve gotten swept up in my emotions while ignoring the logic screaming in my face to run and get away from certain situations and certain people. I ask myself “Why the fuck do I do this?” to understand why I don’t give a fuck about my own feelings and risk my heart getting harmed every single time. Truth is, ever since the split from my ex-fiancé, I’ve been floating through spaces and absorbing the sunshine in them, even if only temporary, to escape the darkness I fear. But that bullshit is done. It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt. More times than not, I am the one who is hurt. Fuck that. I’m taking a hiatus from dating, sex, and all things romance for a few months. I need to focus on my writing and pouring back into myself because so much has been taken from me. And I’m tired of being robbed.
