I would stand out in the yard holding a huge sign that read: "It's my partner's birthday today and I'm going to stand out here holding this sign for the full 24 hours of it." The toxic mean women in the neighborhood would probably launch into a tirade at their toxic husbands with matters like: "why didn't you....?" This would be sure to cause contempt among the toxic dudes in the neighborhood, which would then make if really fun for me. The main point I'm hoping to make (in a semi-silly manner) is, be creative with love. It always wins.

I write authentically about my journey with PTSD so that others may benefit from my experience. I also write about love and longing.
