safe space (noun): a place or environment in which a person or category of people can feel confident that they will not be exposed to any harm.
you give me so much confidence, but when you're not around i feel lost. i can't talk to anyone else like i talk to you. when i realised i was bi, i feel like i woke up. not just my sexuality, but, like my thoughts and feelings and personality. because i was repressing so much of myself before then. but i think i still hide behind that mask a lot of the time, just laughing and joking with my mates, but never really opening up to anyone. now that i've been thinking about uni and my future, i've realised there's so much about myself i need to figure out.
nobody should feel the way you feel right now. soon, you will be home, it will pass like a bad-weather front.
