Recess
Sometimes we have to remember ourselves. That we are not lost. That no one is stealing us from us.
We spend so much of our lives grieving. When we’re not careful, the grief turns to grievance. And we spend every day at a funeral for what we hoped would happen.
In these moments, maybe we need strong, assertive voices to shout at us that we’re not dying and can do hard things.
Wake up, they might say. Buried in the recesses of our darkest thoughts, maybe something stirs.
Go ahead and bring yourself back to life.
