I had always been known for my strength and my spine, yet somehow I lost those things. And when I realized this, and looked in the mirror at myself, I was disgusted. Never again will I let another person get me as low as I was then. Yet because of that relationship, and how hurtful and damaging it was, I learned a lot about myself, and I certainly learned how to love myself in a truly unconditional way.
