Randomly woke up and heard sirens and couldn’t immediately fall back asleep. Saw a post online that surprisingly triggered some memories from the end of 2012 (hey we’re in December) and remembered some terrible things. But it’s been 4 years and I’ve come a long way. I’m further along in my education and profession. I’ve held on to good friends and met new ones. Mom is here with me while I get settled in a new city. I’m telling myself I can calm down cause I made it through 2012. That year was absolutely terrible, I’ll never forget that feeling of betrayal and hopelessness. I almost gave up. I thought I lost the world but ended up gaining so much more.
Gonna try to go back to sleep.
