I recorded this and almost didn’t release it. But I think it’s relatable and I feel woman going through this need someone to be vulnerable enough to speak for all of us suffering in silence. I won’t always feel this bad, I’ve climbed my way out of dark places before, but I’ve had to a lot and I’m tired of women being told we’re too sensitive, we are over reacting, or we need to get over it. So I decided to be raw for one night of my life and just say it the way it is. Somebody needs to. I refuse to accept this treatment as normal, I’m done putting up with treatment from partners that make me feel toxic towards myself. I will not blame myself anymore. I hope you don’t either❤️
