Time Will Tell

Humans.  That is what we all are.

Religion, belief system, way of life, belongings, relationships we lead.  Those are all just things.

Yes.  I am human too.

I make mistakes that I don't always own up to or talk about.

I push my real feelings aside for the sake of being able to make it through the day.  Sometimes for entertainment value, even.

I met someone.  Things were felt by my entire being that I had never experienced before.

I fell.

Hard.

I said that I would never be that girl.

And now I'm healing the bruises and licking my wounds and learning from my mistakes.

For every one thing that I tell you, there are ten more that I'm not.

I have been sucked into an abyss that I don't know how to get out of.

Give me a minute.
