Cut into my flesh Cut me away from what I know To separate memory From matter Flesh unwholesome To detach from self With ragged gouge With teeth fierce to feast Upon the space between Now then and when

Today is my 3rd anniversary on Tezos, within the fourth year in isolation, but a new beginning.
This past year has been a whirlwind of near constant compounding traumas, deaths and interwoven heartbreaks which has been enmeshed with the global horrors and the falling of an empire. I feel like a different person within my internal world. I have become something new, healing my own body and mind, being my own physician and my own advocate. I am alone, and have only myself to rely on to begin this new cycle.
I don't have time. But I'm still alive.
