During a dark time in my life, I started wearing hoodies ... as security blankets under which I hid myself and a lot of pain. As I work through the pain, come out of hiding, and pack away the hoodies, this is the holding place for the memories and a reminder to embrace life.
Notice
Today, I checked my mail ... which is now in a post office box rather than a traditional mailbox ... and got a much-anticipated notice for the final hearing. Finally. I've spent the past few days dealing with my anger over the perspectives issue ... but have decided - resolved, really - that my life can and will be better. And I am ready for that. The past several days have been ... good. The crying has all but stopped. I feel like a person again. Like I have value to add to society.
