Once upon a time, there was a girl named Purple. She was just 19 years old and had already been through so much pain and heartache. Purple had been diagnosed with depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder, which made it difficult for her to trust people and love freely.

One day, Purple met a man named Jack. He was 22 and charming, with a smile that could light up a room. They quickly fell in love, and Purple believed that she had found her soulmate. But as time went on, she began to see a darker side of Jack.

He would make her feel guilty for things she hadn't done, twist her words to make her feel confused and unsure of herself, and manipulate her into doing things she didn't want to do. But through it all, he claimed to love her and said that he couldn't live without her.

Purple was trapped in a toxic love that she couldn't escape from. She knew that she deserved better, but the fear of being alone and the memories of a childhood filled with abuse and neglect kept her locked in this relationship.

Despite her inner turmoil and pain, Purple stayed with Jack. She felt like she needed him to survive, to feel loved and wanted, even though it was slowly destroying her. He would tell her that she was nothing without him, that no one else would ever want her, and she believed him.

Purple lost herself in this relationship. She didn't recognize the person she had become. She was no longer the happy, carefree girl she used to be. Her self-esteem had been shattered, and she didn't know how to pick up the pieces.

The years went by, and Purple stayed with Jack. She tried to leave him a few times, but he always managed to convince her to come back. And each time she returned, she felt weaker, more broken, more lost.

She stopped feeling like a person and became a shell of who she once was. She stopped dreaming, stopped believing in herself, and stopped hoping for a better future. She was trapped in a cycle of abuse, gaslighting, and manipulation, and she didn't know how to break free.

The years went by, and Purple stayed with Jack. But in the end, she knew that she had made a mistake. She knew that she had lost herself in a toxic love that was slowly killing her. But it was too late. She couldn't leave him anymore. She was trapped, forever lost in a love that was never meant to be.

And so, she stayed with him, day after day, year after year. She stayed with him, even though she knew that he would never change, even though she knew that she deserved better. She stayed with him because she was afraid of what would happen if she left.

But even in the darkest moments, there was a small glimmer of hope. A tiny voice inside of her that whispered, "You deserve better." And maybe, just maybe, one day she would find the strength to listen to that voice and break free from the toxic love that had held her captive for so long.
