The first step to redemption is failure. You see, in order to redeem yourself, you have to fail first. That's what makes it sweeter than straight up success.

This society cultures selfishness. The world is built in a way that having a heart feels like a punishment and that selflessness is either a sin or a sign of weakness.

Hope can be a dangerous. That final string of hope that I held on for so long ended up shredding me into pieces. There's a reason it's inside Pandora's box.

Like I had a choice?

I refuse to embrace the struggle any longer so I decided to make peace with my demons. I felt free, and so did they. They no longer have to hide. They no longer have to stay inside.

They watch over me as I sleep every night. Or sometimes struggle to sleep every night. I wonder how I look like through their eyes.

People tell me the next day, "you looked like you had a rough night"

"I got into a fight... with my demons," I respond.

"Wow. But you're here today, so congratulations. You won," they said.

But did I actually win the battle?

You are the one bridge I fear of burning. You know my deepest secrests, my darkest sides. You are my safe zone, my sanctuary. I fear to have the person who knows my core become a stranger. The more we get to know each other, the more I get attached. The more I have to prepare myself when all of these ends. Because I am a temporary person in everyone's lives.
