Why I use the A word instead of the F word.
For years I was burdened by the F word and just could not get myself to use it. I hated the word. I could not wrap my head around why so many people insisted it was the only way for me to feel better or embrace my higher self.

Red light, green light, 1 2 3.
It feels like I can't trust someone if they do not open up right away. It feels weird if it takes a lot of time to know someone or become involved in their personal life. It is even suspicious if for weeks into months the connection is slow. It could feel like I am being ignored, neglected, or even that the person is detached if they want time alone often. Why do I feel this way?

I don't miss you. I miss who I was when I was with you.
I hate the way it ended. I hate the last fight we had. Now all I can think about is what was said and what I should have said instead. If only I had chosen words more carefully. If only my grip around the glass had been calmer, I wouldn't have dropped it and shattered it into a million pieces.

The year my mother collapsed at Thanksgiving
I got the text Thanksgiving evening from my cousin who I had not seen in many years but was very fond of. He and his sister were younger than me and always went to the family holiday occasions, long after I estranged myself from everyone. They were my mother's only (alive) sisters' kids. I was my mother's only child and had left at 16, forcibly and due to abuse. I had no regrets going no contact for years after but my cousins would still keep in touch here and there via text or socials.

Writing about trauma is a work of art.
Here's an answer to a question no one has ever asked me, but I have prepared an answer to anyways. I think people are actually AFRAID to write about their traumas widely because it will mean those things happened and have to be dealt with. NOT because people are afraid of those stories being read.
