But they’re wrong. The world you lives in is much bigger than that. If the place in which you find yourself is too painful, I say you should be free to seek another, less painful place of refuge. There is no shame in seeking a safe place. I want you to believe that somewhere in this wide world there is a place for you, a safe haven.

Meggan RoxanneHealing is difficult because it requires solitude and some haven’t conquered the battle of being comfortable alone.
