We hear it again and again: relationships require compromise.

But what happens when you realize you’ve been letting your own identity slip away, for the benefit of a relationship?

Today’s story comes to us from a woman named Dani Harris. It’s about young love and a cross-country road trip, and it shows just how hard it can be to stand up for yourself when you care deeply about another person.

“It was like I had been shoving my needs inside of a duffel bag, … maintaining my image as a girlfriend who was always easy-going and forgiving.”

— Dani Harris
