Hope
The beginning of your story…
miraculous you,
your first breaths told a story
beginning with hope…
adventurous you,
your first smile told a story
written by your heart…
melanated you,
your first fight told a story
that reshaped your dreams…
miraculous you,
this chapter of your story
will not be the end…

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
