Amethyst Stopped My Panic Attacks
I thinks it looks nice too
Amethyst Stopped My Panic Attacks
I bought it for my panic attacks
not for beauty
not for luck
just to stop the world from spinning
A heart-shaped stone
deep purple
worn round my neck
not for anyone else to see
just for me
It doesn’t flash or whisper spells
it just sits
solid
cool against my skin
when my chest tightens
and the noise begins
I hold it like a steady hand
not magic
not a miracle
just something to grip
when I feel myself slipping
I don’t care what people think
they weren’t there
they didn’t see
what it’s like
to fight your own breath
After a few days
the panic softened
then stopped altogether
I’ve worn it every day since
a month now
and not one attack
This heart
this stone
gave me back
the bit of calm
I couldn’t find on my own

Christmas Tree
Christmas tree curbside done with living room season waiting for trash truck. I don't even put a Christmas tree in the living room. But when I see the trees on the curb, near the trash bin, waiting for pickup, it makes me sad. Maybe I see a metaphor in it, the way it is discarded when the season is over.

I love amethyst. I keep one by my bed for better sleep.
