Jess's Journey: Breaking Free from Isolation and Addiction
“But there was like no sense of like safety or peace, of questioning everything, and I felt really attached to this avatar created and like the social status that I thought, like I was, like I'm getting attention for men, like men want to know who I am, and I just couldn't upkeep the physical avatar anymore.”
