You And first, before him and before her and before them there was you. Never forget that. - Nikita Gill

What I have spent in mourning is the price I have paid for my healing.

Did you know that when someone dies their body weight drops quite suddenly? It is not really noticeable unless you have held them close whilst they are dying, praying to every god that you won’t lose them. It is just a touch. But it’s there when they leave you.
Twenty-one grams. That is the weight of a human soul.

And darling, I hope your remember to kiss the ghosts goodnight. They are only older versions of you that you have had to discard and forget.
