Shatterday
It's helplessly frustrating to learn that just when you are certain you have finally put it all behind you and have started your life anew, the very thing that caused you so much pain comes back to you, looming like a giant tidal wave, then crashes down, wipes you out and drags you down to the depths you never want to venture back in. With my primary resistance at it's most critical low, one word was all it took to crack, what I thought to be, my well fortified defenses.
And at once, the woman that I thought I was -- the woman who wouldn't bend. the towerblock -- found herself left to her own devices and her tearstained face in her hands again.
