After leaving the person that mentally manipulated and abused you, you swore to yourself that you would never let anything like that ever happen again. You promised to yourself that if you meet that person again, you’ll stand your ground and not let yourself get treated like that.

The day arrived, and you found yourself unable to move, frozen with racing thoughts. Why do I let this happen? Why can’t I stand up for myself? Why can’t I move? Do something! Don’t let him get his way again!

In the end you found yourself again back when you were seventeen, unable to leave this mess, not knowing better what to do.
