I Carry Your Heart With Me
I felt a deep yearning for the companionship of a dog. Shortly before the shit-storm that was the pandemic, I had a mental breakdown. Not in the sudden sort of way you see in movies. It had been a slug of a breakdown. You sort of convince yourself its not happening for a while—that you’re the same person you used to be before you had panic attacks. I am not an anxious person. That’s what I would tell myself after I got into bed for the third time in ten minutes (I had to check the doors again of course. This time with the lights on. Then off again. Then I’d have to feel the handle three times to make sure the lock was down. Even then I wasn’t sure.)
