*Possible tw for death of a loved one*
Part of me says that she was all that mattered.
I could have never known that I'd just wake up and she'd be gone that day. There was no warning whatsoever...
That day was so weird, I wandered so many places. I hadn't even talked to my boss... I just wandered anywhere that didn't remind me of anything. I had to get away.
I just started running. I have no idea how long I was pushing myself. I was on a forest trail at that point... The weather was perfect, and it felt free. Maybe I was free. I slowed and I thought about it. The basic gist is this. I'm just at point A. She's now at point B. I can't access point B normally, and I won't entertain the idea.... But when I do, I'll see her again. So, for now... I could feel like every moment I waste here is pushing her farther away.... but instead, I'm free to start over for other things. That's what she'd want, isn't it?
I can build myself up, I can invest in more than just myself, I can live to the fullest, and I can bring so much more when I see her again. Maybe there will be more with us there too. I don't have to be faraway, I can still be present here.
The strange part is, it's never felt sad since. It's not a loss, it's a promise. The exploration and exercise that day were just the beginning. I want to see as much of the world as I can, and I want to be stronger than I ever would have imagined. This is just the beginning.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.💖
tw- dermatillomania
Deep in a trance
Of picking my skin
And I want to do worse-
I know I can't win
But, trembling,
I manage not to dig too deep
A step backwards, it sucks I know
But it's better than two steps
And not moving at all?
That can count as a step forward for me.
Baby steps, start out small.
And maybe one day
Hopefully I will crawl to the end
And I will heal.
@LonleyCheese
I hope you to achieve healing 💚
