right now, i feel a desperate urge to simply let go. to rot. to fade. to be anywhere but here. i am decaying under the weight of it. as i write this my jaw is locked tight grinding against the bones in my mouth and my heart hammers against my ribs while tears fall down on the raw skin of my face. i am drowning in the “before” and i dont know how to breathe in the “now.”
