My Diary
I felt the whole day in my jaw
Dear Delyara, Before I admitted anything emotionally, the body already had. Jaw tight. Shoulders lifted. Breath shallower than usual. It’s unsettling how often my body tells the truth before my pride is willing to. I can still be calling the day “fine” while my muscles have clearly filed a complaint. Tonight I believed the body sooner. That felt important.
