I have nearly no more words left to say, except a simple warning for those who chose to invest their time into you. I cannot advocate for the message that you bring, yet I am still trapped in the promises that you made to me the moment that I signed up for the adventure of you. The environment surrounding you is toxic. I was the one who chose to engage first, to sign up and make the first step to match with people.īut the message is toxic.

I started with a passion that burned as bright as a fire and as consistent as the sun. Once upon a time… I was a naive little girl.Ī fresh face, new to adulthood and new to the reality of this world.
