PRIDE. (PMV)

This is quite a tough start if I even decide to continue animating. I just needed to let everything out and be able to move on with my life.

I was 16 when I met my ex partner (who was 19 years old at the time) during a really tough part of my life. We went on to have a relationship for a year, in which I was constantly pressured to do anything and everything. I was always too sensitive when I voiced my concerns, or too cold when I was feeling down. I always had to say "Yes!" and now when I am older, I see how much it truly ALMOST made my "spark" vanish. I realise that throughout the relationship, my love, my interest in hobbies and anything that mattered to me was disappearing. I was constantly stressed out from trying to comfort the person who only ever strived to control me.

I am doing quite well, for those of you who are waiting to ask "Are you okay?". It has been awhile since this relationship ended and I am only ever thankful for the people who stuck around and helped me find comfort. A sincere thank you to my ever-loving family who reached out to me when I shut myself from the entire world, my friends who stayed through thin and thick, and to the love of my life, who lifted me up and carried me when I was too tired to keep going.

Last and not least, a big thank you to those who watched the entire video and read this piece of text.
