    Just scrolling through some of your older work, MA, and came across this one which both shocked and surprised me in equal measure. I think by the time I reached the end, my overwhelming feeling was sympathy and sorrow for you for having to suffer this kind of misery.
    I have to say, from a poetic point of view, this is brilliant:

    i no longer carry shame;
    i have no room to rent
    guilt in my bones,

    Take care.

      Thank you, Ben. I don't know what else to say either than it's super weird for me going back and reading, yet in a way, I'm glad I documented this and wrote what I was going through.... to know that I can and have grown. That's a big step for me to not carry shame (of any kind, no matter how it manifests itself).

      Thanks again, means a lot :)

      I agree entirely that it was absolutely worth writing and reading again, too. If these processes are cathartic in any way, they are important. Glad it helped you, MA.
