I opened my eyes for the first time
to the real version of me
meeting you followed soon after
felt like my mind had found a home
my first genuine connection
I knew I wouldn't grow old alone
harsh realities coming to the surface
my first steps on a healing journey
you inspire me to be better
because I want to be good enough for you
surely you feel this too
my biggest flaw has always been a lack of patience
to love you
I have to learn this lesson
true love happens slowly
requires a lot of waiting
and you have to know the person cares
when they aren't physically there

I want nothing more than to dedicate my life to writing, so I figured I would start here to test the waters. I will be submitting stories to as many communities as possible.

I was going to relax this evening. Tune out, hunker down, look after myself. I need it. I am exhausted. Thoroughly used up. And it's only Wednesday. Not even half way through the week. A week that in the UK, is Mental Health Awareness week. I don't know who decides these things, who gets to co-opt a day, a week, a month, and declare it a thing about a thing. But I do know a lot about mental health. I know a lot about mental health AND I know a lot about working for the UK's National Health Service. And so it was with interest that I clicked play on the below video, earlier today. By the time I finished, I was in tears.
