In some ways I was
in an unclimbable pit.
But had I condemned myself
by creating its walls
from thoughts too brittle
to carry my weight?
(c)
My heart was tamed
to fit in a heart-shaped box.
Whether it was mercy
or a crime,
it was done without
anyone asking me.

I can never know it for sure, but I think MS is what took my grandma several years ago. Her health declined so fast that it was never diagnosed, not that it would have really mattered if it did anyway.. I wish strength for anyone fighting this still vague disease, to their friends and loved ones and for the ones who have already lost some of theirs. Giving a small donation, or showing your support in another way might not feel like much, but together we are stronger than any of us alone would ever be.. <3
"How are you?"
What I say: "Good good."
What I mean: "Happy, scared, empty, full of hope and uncertainty at the same time.. Not good or bad, both, and neither."
