Coming back to yourself
Trauma and grief can make you forget who you are. For 100 days, I woke up, I made coffee, I drove to the hospital an hour away, I spent the…
Recurring dreams of home. But not home. But, home.
I’ve been staring at the TV for about 15 minutes while one gunfire scene has been playing. How do they not run out of bullets? I swear, there is some…
That little voice in your head
Maybe there’s a dirty mug in the sink, with a spoon in it. Maybe you forgot to clean the crumbs off the cutting board from your cinnamon toast snack the…
