How do you untangle twenty years of a relationship and five years of trauma from your mind? Especially if the choice to part ways was not yours? Memories of the moments past haunt you like ghosts. Objects light as a feather become impossible to lift or touch. Every day, you wake up to a new reality, a life that must be someone else’s because you hardly recognize it as your own.

Shhh, the camera says. Let go. You’re with me now. Forget the pain of the past. Don’t waste your days fearing the future. Let go. Remember the power of the here and now. Notice the world and the people around you. The present is yours to take.
