Somehow this came easier with a person who’s understand and loving. I always thought it is a one-person job, that I did not try hard enough before. At least that was what I was told before. However, my boyfriend’s continueous encouragement and support made it possible for me.

Sometimes I still want to run away from issues and/or discussions. Sometimes it might have been easier to just lie. But knowing that he will not hold it against me, or look down upon me, or get mad at me even if I speak the truth, made me just that much more confident in myself that I could do it…
