August 23, 2019: Death & Rebirth

June 2019 and it had been a few weeks since I exited a six-year relationship. To say I was distraught would be an understatement, but I was doing my best to keep the mask on. I was moving through life in a deep slumbered state. I would wake up, tend to my three children, go to work, come home, make dinner, have a few drinks, go to bed, then wake up and repeat. It was far from the life I envisioned for myself, but there I was.
