Sometimes, the reason people have to live double lives is because their first life feels so awfully miserable. They’ll do anything to get out of the agony and ruin of their original existence. They just try to feel less stuck, longing to experience something a little less hard. No one really understands them at all. They just keep trying to make sense of themselves. One day, just maybe one day, they’ll feel unstuck and understood.

This is so raw and true! There's always hope—even for the ones who feel most stuck. Sometimes the right people, places, or even just time itself can open a door they didn’t know existed.✨
Wow, this feels familiar. There are days I’m sure, many of us teeter that fine line. So much said here, in so few words ❤️
