Weekdays and Saturday mornings
โTo whoever needs this: In 2022 I was exactly where you are. The worst part was the oncologist who talks to the screen not to me. This week I went back to my evening class. The bad days get further apart.โ
โIf you've just found this place, eighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. Back then it was work asking when I will be back. These days I mostly feel like me. You're not on your own.โ
โI was in the same place this time last year. The taste of metal in everything, every single day. This week I went back to my evening class. The bad days get further apart.โ
โFor whoever is where I was: I've been there. For me it was two years ago. I remember a port fitted under the collarbone like it was yesterday. This morning I sang in the car. It's slow, but it does come back. Keep going, even slowly.โ
