BEFORE DEATH DOES US APART

"Do not look for healing at the feet of those who broke you.”

— Rupi Kaur, Milk and Honey

I had never known myself to be a light sleeper. Growing up with my parents did not give me enough opportunity to know what kind of sleeper I was. The condo which my parents and I lived in when I was younger (and then eventually only me and my mom when I was ten), was always quiet. I usually sleep through the night, except if I really need to pee or Sniffles boinks me in the head at three a.m. Maybe it is the fact that I have the loomy and doomed feeling since Stephan showed up last week. I have been so jumpy and quick to wake up.
