burnt you in effigy. in five inch, papier mache, marker-decorated effigy.
the past few weeks I have been trying to break myself of the thinking-about-shiny habit. last night was a good culmination of that. I was surrounded by people that I love and that love me, and I burnt up his memory.
symbolism has always been important to me. two years ago, I burnt my own huge effigy so that I could try to move on from ex-otter. this year it was about getting over shiny, whom I have not heard from since december.
let's learn from this. let's try. let's be bigger than our own lives.
it's so easy to forget that suffering is suffering, no matter the source. no matter the size.
I turn 30 tomorrow.
every landmark that I pass, I wish my mom was here to see it.
I hope I never burn her memory from my brain.
