AND
THAT is bizarre
WHY

am I STILL having such a hard time
leaving the house 

I KNOW 
I'm on an UPWARD trajectory 
BUT 

I guess how I feel is
WHY
did she want a kid at all
why did she not
VALUE me
WHY

did she
DO all the bad things 
& EVEN 
AS
I say that, I'm all LIKE 

MAYBE 
you're thinking about it WRONG somehow 

I'm like okay
think of a good memory 

I LOVE unsweetened iced tea 
it is one of my favorite things 
& this is HOW 
I learned to
LOVE it

my mom was doing an art show
in the KINGWOOD -- the livable forest

it's this planned community in the Houston area 

I had heard about it
& was KINDA 
excited to SEE it -- which I didn't, really 

SO
ANYWAY 
we are in a booth in a covered tent type situation 

in the "woods"
& it is f*CKing HOT

my mom brought unsweetened iced tea 
I did not drink unsweetened iced tea 
NO ONE 
drinks unsweetened iced tea 
& I was NOT going to drink it EITHER 

BUT 
I got really really 
THIRSTY 

I finally drank the unsweetened iced tea 
& BECAUSE 
I was all
HEAT exhaustion 

it was f*CKing nectar of the gods
BEST THING 
I EVER 
drank

& SHE
GAVE me THAT
