Abyss

The Abyss is the blank space between the people who promised that you would be safe and loved no matter what, and the emptiness you found yourself staring into after you came out. The abyss is staring out at the dark sky at 3 am from a cold apartment, finding yourself alone after finally having the courage to be truthful about who you are and how you move through the world. The Abyss is the dark moments before it gets better and community reforms (and my god does it get better).
