sat here looking at the peeling paint in my bathroom again while everyone at the table raves about their promotions and trips, just thinking about how my last "big win" was figuring out how to patch the hole in my wall. sometimes feels like my life is on pause, you know?
so i sent a twelve minute voice note to my mom that was actually meant for my friend about how i tripped over a squirrel while trying to get a delivery, and now she thinks i have a weird obsession with squirrels which is like NO, just wanted to warn her about my new professional status as squirrel tripping expert. now she keeps asking me about my “squirrel adventures” and i just want to disappear ...
sitting in my tiny studio staring at this empty fridge while my friends brag about their new places and promotions, feels like a cruel joke when all i get is another denial from the VA for a claim that should be a no-brainer because who even has paperwork from a warzone. some days it feels like everyone else gets a trophy while i'm stuck holding my broken pieces.

exhaled so hard when the doctor said my blood work was all clear, i was so sure something terrible was hiding in those results that i almost prepared myself for the worst but wow, i guess i can just breathe now, like a weight lifted.
