Oh the metaphors and the feeling of panic this gave me about time slipping away was the most beautiful form of anxiety. The kind that pushes you out the door and makes you seize the day. Amazing! Loved it!

sometimes after all that has happened, it may feel like I'd never be able to smile the way I used to but, in your words,

'my smile stretched across the island like i’d never been

hurt'

reading this was really something I could relate to.

great writing, and keep writing like this, it's really good :)

Wow, this is such an incredible piece! I felt it so deeply. I love the line ‘time is pasta

water through a sieve spiralling down the drain i still need to deep clean.’

Oh, wow... this is so beautiful and dense, tight... lovely. The car integrates it all (and shows the motion of time). Love the line about Mother Time working the graveyard shift. And thoughts on self and aging. Takk!
