1. forgive. everyday i’m reminded that it’s not a one time thing. every time a memory knife twists inside me, i have to take a deep breath and forgive all over again. him, her, them. myself.
2. get out of my head.
3. write something more than this.
4. go for a long drive.
5. listen. to actually hear their words, follow their thoughts, putting aside the ones i think should be said. to just be quiet and understand.
