I adopted a cat. Started therapy. Took long walks on my lunch breaks again. I learned how to exist without bending myself into shapes that made everyone else comfortable.
I stopped trying to be the dependable one at my own expense.
People say karma doesn’t always come. That sometimes you have to accept justice will never arrive.

Karma came.
And it was glorious.
