At the beginning of toxic relationships, one can often overlook the red flags and try to pretend that what they're experiencing isn't happening. But that doesn't change the lingering feeling of dread that takes over your body upon witnessing or hearing something you know is not okay. No matter how many excuses you make, every interaction leaves you feeling isolated and afraid of what will come next. This piece is a reflection on the relationships I found myself in as a freshman, exploring the loneliness I felt despite the love I was supposedly given.

Exploring and expressing my creativity impacts my life by allowing me to process my emotions and channel my experiences into something beautiful. Creativity allows me to share my story, which has made me into the person I am today. My art serves as a reminder of how resilient I am.
