Transcript

In 2024, my top song on Spotify wrapped was, I can do it with a broken heart. I think I'm about to blow past that record in 2026. I'm still hurting. It's only been a few days, but it's already a little easier. Easier to get up, easier to feed, easier to look at my face in the mirror even when it's still puffy. It's she doesn't really know anything's different. She just wants her breakfast and her walk same as always. And there's something steady about that. Like she's reminding me the world still works the way it's supposed to even when I don't feel like it does. It's easier to go into an office and just be normal for a few hours to focus on something that isn't this. Some days the routine is the only thing holding the day together. Get up, get trust, show up. It gives you something to control when everything feels like it's not up to you. I finally got the shirt from Saon that I've been waiting on and putting it on today gave me this little glimmer of what things felt like before. I felt pretty just for a second. Not who I was before, but maybe I'm my way back to her. One step at a time, that's the whole plan right now.
