Emotions and trauma tend to hang around in your head. Sometimes as clear images. As memories, as stories and as songs. Other times they are an undefined cloud. A mental fog in your consciousness that you can’t quite place your finger on, but you feel it there, weighing down some part of you somewhere. And as easy as it is to adapt around this, to turn your attention elsewhere and tell yourself that you are getting on with your life you must know that if ignored, it will worsen. It will collect, and collect, until it is so swollen it will have no choice but to pour. Please, let it drizzle here and there. Use it to water your thoughts and let it thin out to give the sun a chance to get through.

Don’t look the other way, don’t let it become a devastating storm.
