Storms

It’s been a week since I posted anything here. It’s also been a week since I have returned from Toronto. And I haven’t left my house since returning from the airport.

It’s been rough, I anticipated this, which is why I put measures in place to make sure it doesn’t get too bad.

But it is pretty bad.

Of course I would be completely delusional to think that things would be perfectly fine upon my return, I knew that I would have to spend some time in the darkness.

The oppressive heat doesn’t help, I simply cannot go outside, even if to just take a walk, my headaches would start almost immediately if I tried.

I’m waiting it out, hopefully cooler days are coming, and I will adjust like I always do. Art helps, so do books, but mostly my own solitude to sort things out in my mind.

The storm cloud that is hovering over me will dissipate soon, and I will re-emerge into more bearable light.

But this is never easy. I know there are a lot of people out there who understand how I feel. Take care of yourselves.
