The Year of Firsts


This was a year of firsts.

First time recognizing the abuse, first time moving out of the house. 

First time really feeling like I didn't have a home. 

First time I've had a boyfriend, first time I've had more than a kiss. 

First time feeling actually good. 

This was a year of firsts.
