i blow a kiss to the life behind me. i’ve severed my ties and mended my wounds. i’m still weak, and my mind is at it’s end. i find some kind of strength to press on, knowing whats at stake here is bigger than i. this uphill battle is so draining. what is left for me on the other side? will i make it? can i do this? doubt is a privilege i no longer have. i keep telling myself this will get easier. “just ahead… i can catch my breath. this is worth it. this is worth it.” i’m so pathetic. i play strong but i’m broken beyond repair. this is my last stand. i’ve come to terms with that. i have my part to play. the stage is set. the show begins. i look ahead and see the audience. i can’t look back, but it pains me to look forward. oh god.

what have we done?
