Today Didn’t Hurt Me

Dear Delyara, I want to write about an ordinary good day. No one upset me. Nothing went wrong. I didn’t cry in the bathroom or get derailed by one message or feel invisible in the wrong room. I ate. I worked. I laughed once. I came home intact. A day like that used to seem too plain to mention. Now I know better. When you’ve known enough emotional strain, a day that doesn’t wound you is worth writing down.
