Survival is a funny thing.
It's a never-ending fight which, after a while, becomes second nature. All you have to do is find what makes you want to keep fighting, to keep going forward. Find what keeps you from spiralling and losing control.
For me, it was my sister.
The day she was born, I swore to protect her, to save her anytime she would need it. In her own way, she saved me too. They say a sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost, and I was determined to hang onto mine like a lifeline.
Then he came along and everything was turned upside down. I had to put my trust in his hands, something I had never done before, and pray everything went according to plan.
The problem with trust, is that it's a brittle little bitch, and the more it bends, the harder it breaks.
