Mental Health
Time: Healer or Just a Teacher?
Time may not solve all problems, but solutions to problems usually appear over time. Even though the past makes you sad, giving yourself some time will allow you to better face the future and start a new life. Although some things are painful, time will always allow you to experience enough and face past setbacks with a smile.

How To Break Yourself Down. Honorable Mention in Instructions for a Feeling Challenge.
What does it take to break yourself down? // Start with the trachea, removing your voice so you cannot scream out the pain // Crack open your sternum, breaking out rib-by-rib // Choose to place them gently on the table or throw them in the dirt and hope you are holy enough for a woman to incarnate // Snap your pelvic bone into thirds, one for each leg and one for you // Drain the spinal fluid and eat the cartilage so the vertebrae rattle together and beacon foxes to feast // Make a hollow booming of you femurs // Beat the timpanis with your tibias to announce the death of your flesh and toll against your ossicles // Pop your metatarsals out, always longer than expected // Lastly, tap your fingers against your skull before you separate the proximal from the middle from the distal // Use your teeth // Now found together, skuttle amongst the crabs who will pick you clean of memory of sin and sainthood // in an animalistic life you imagined to live.
