Emptiness is a burden some people tend to live with almost every day. You don’t know exactly how to describe it, other than a feeling of an actual hole in your chest. This hole feels as though it is in the place of your heart, you can feel the edges of it from where it was torn apart. And you don’t know how to fill the hole. It’s just there, and you don’t remember exactly when it ever tore, it just did. You may have some ideas of how it happened but there’s still a question. How do you fix it? Well, I would gladly like to provide you with the answer to this question, but I am in also dire need for an answer.

The Invisble amongst us
"In January 2021, I was driving to see my mother at a local hospital. Traffic halted suddenly, and I was so happy I did not strike the vehicle in front of me. I gazed up in my rear-view mirror just as the vehicle behind struck my little sub-compact vehicle. "

May 15, 2023 Strange things are happening. Good-strange, bad-strange, and strange-strange. For starters, me and all my litter mates are able to stand. Some of us can even wiggle around in a clumsy manner. I say wiggle because it isn’t quite walking but it isn’t quite crawling. We just sort of stand and wiggle and fall and take a few steps and then crawl and then get up again. It is in this manner we are able to move around to some degree and explore our surroundings. Naturally we cannot go far. Which is ok, I suppose, because I am very small and I need my mother for food and my siblings to keep me warm and I feel very loved and comforted by them in some way, so I don’t know why I would need to go very far. Having four legs, I must admit, is very strange. It is not a surprise to me that it is challenging to coordinate them to move in the order they need to move. But I can get around a little bit, my eyes can stay open for much longer periods of time now, and it is easier to understand what is happening. So this is new.
