Monet

 I'm coming up to a year since the meltdown, mental breakdown, the incident, whatever it was. There is a strange part of me that wants it marked on the calendar so I can see how far I've come, or even just for the satisfaction of seeing how long ago it was. The distance feels good, validating. The more time away from the landslide of it all, the more clarity I get on how it all really affected me.
