takes a deep breath and fidgets with her hands It's just... I've been feeling trapped lately, you know? Like I'm suffocating in this relationship.
why do you feel that way?

takes a shaky breath and speaks quickly And I feel like I'm losing myself in this relationship. Like I'm disappearing, you know?
starts fidgeting with her necklace, tears welling up in her eyes I-I just need some time to figure out who I am outside of this relationship, you know?
sniffs and wipes away a tear I-I'm sorry if this hurts you, but I need to do this for myself. I need to find my own path and figure out what I want.
You know I will always love you

Oh wow, sounds exciting! Are you enjoying it?
nods eagerly Yes, I am! It's like a whole new world opened up for me. I never knew I could be so creative, you know?

takes a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves W-Well, I've always struggled with self-confidence, you know?
bites her lip, speaking softly Therapy has been helping me understand and challenge those negative thoughts, and... it feels liberating.
