194 Weeks - Tumblr Posts

I have gone 194 weeks without contacting him.

Unfortunately, I still think about him often, but everytime I do I try to remember to take a deep breath and focus on exhaling fully.

It releases my chest muscles; a thing that I could never do with him.

The memories I have of him and the abuse blur and refocus seemingly at random, so it can be difficult to consciously remember a specific thing at a given time.

But that feeling of my ribs being seemingly sewn shut endures and serves as the reference point for my progress.

It's been 194 weeks and I can breathe now.
