Sinclair How often in a lifetime could a person be betrayed without falling apart completely? I was loved and cherished by four amazing men who showed me that after being beaten down hard, it was always possible to get back up. It was easy at first to tell myself that things would only get better, and that everything I went through was the worst that could’ve ever happened to me. For a while, I really made myself believe that life was finally taking it easy on me. Spoiler it wasn’t.
