Weekend
This weekend I named the creature that goes to bed with me every night
This weekend I was ill
This weekend I hurt myself
This weekend I forgave myself
This weekend I found a network of likeminded folk
This weekend I noticed behavioural patterns
This weekend I couldn't explain away my feelings using my sociological beliefs
This weekend I was
This weekend I accepted nobody was at fault
This weekend I let love in
This weekend I made plans for May
This weekend I watched videos of my nephew and felt unending joy
This weekend I discovered a charity that offers counselling to people who have experienced my trauma
This weekend I admitted defeat
This weekend I armed myself for the next battle
This weekend I looked at flats to buy
This weekend I got published again
This weekend I hugged someone
This weekend I joked with my friends for the first time in months
This weekend I read everything I could find on adoptee experiences
This weekend I decided not to feel guilty about being overwhelmed
This weekend I changed the bedding and went promptly back to sleep
This weekend I ate the most delicious Easter Egg
This weekend I lounged around
This weekend I failed
This weekend I redefined failure
This weekend I recognised a panic attack before it happened
This weekend I visited the supermarket and was OK with the sensory overload
This weekend I didn't try to make myself smaller as not to inconvenience others
This weekend I sent some books to an ex-partner
This weekend I missed people I am geographically separated from
This weekend I listened to the Clash
This weekend I shared my thoughts with you
This weekend I thanked this weekend
