I woke at 2.30 again this morning. It is now 3 am and I am struggling to get on top of the ritual thought trains that haunt me when I have been triggered. Currently my wrists are throbbing, asking me to slice them open and a narrative is forming in my head in the form of a simple prayer.

I look in my mirror much more these days. I notice my eyes — the sparkle grows. I notice the lines on my face — all there because I have laughed my way through Life — The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
