April diary
april 1, saturday. over a warm cup of tea, I carry your heart. grocery shopping, cooking, watching series and a movie on the couch. writing in the evening. sleeping early.
april 2, sunday. a day at the café. writing, finished within a deadline I set myself. treated myself to some cheese cake. catching up with a friend.
april 3, monday. busy work day, pain in the feet. reading in my break, and on the tram. take-out dinner. a gifted ring from a friend, found on holiday.
april 7, friday. taking deep breaths.
april 14, friday. blankets and pillows and cats' greetings. journaling on the train. always lovely to see you again.
I can’t deny you’ve made me a better person. I feel that we are still what we love about each other. I’ll give it some time.
april 16, sunday. I look out for me. I take care of me. Every day is a day to live for me. Each day is to be lived by me. I can be kind to me when another part of me is being mean. I can talk back. I can be scared.
april 17, monday. my poem went viral on tiktok. I feel seen, understood, comforted. a stranger translated it to vietnamese in the comments.
april 18, tuesday. I slept longer than expected. hopeful, at the therapist’s office. I want to go into the day, the week, with intention.
april 20, thursday. no one will understand us but us.
april 23, sunday. my skin is dry from the air. comfort meals. goodbye hugging a colleague. banana bread. conversations by the river, the clouds hovering, grey.
april 29, saturday. screaming into jackets. tomorrow, then I’m off. relief after work. cool about it – boygenius.
