Found a few things I'd written in my old diary that aren't triggering!
Recovery: A return to a normal state of health, mind, or strength.
Convalescence: gradual healing; the act of regaining or saving something lost.
I found this when I was in my writing (awful) haiku stage. I'm not sure who wrote it but I think it's amazing.
Autobiography in five short chapters.
CHAPTER 1
I walk down the street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I fall in.
I am lost...I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.
CHAPTER 2
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend that I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe that I am in the same place.
But, it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.
CHAPTER 3
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the side walk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in... it's a habit...but, my eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.
CHAPTER 4
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I walk around it.
CHAPTER 5
I walk down another street.
