Having a sense of safety and protection is something that I've always struggled with, but now all of that has changed for the better! When I started dating Sam I dealt with a lot of insecurities because of my past with family, friends and etc that led me to feel like, although I have these people in my life, I actually feel alone if/when problems arise. I'm sharing my personal experiences with you in hopes that my transparency can give a sense of peace and understanding to people that also felt like I did once upon a time.
