I feel a lot better today. Like my soul has recognized that there is peace over the horizon.

I didn’t cry today, or at least I do not remember crying today. Sometimes I am not present in my body and it operates without me. It is normally on days when the trauma is too load and I need to hide from the things that scream in the dark.

But today felt better, I felt a bit safer to exist.

I guess, I ought to tell you about the woes of writing. There are many, but today I had none.

So what did I do today?

Nothing.

I did not write today, or for the last three days.

And that is fine. I am taking my time to come back to the words and for the words to come back to me.

Word Count: 34,761 words

See you tomorrow, friend.
