a small step forward

I have talked before about being primed for trauma - how even small things can end up being re-lived as nightmares, so I am happy to report whenever I make any progress on any of these lesser traumas.

The one I am making progress on at the moment is the end of my relationship with Kylie. For months after our breakup, I found myself reliving the last conversation we had over and over again, bruising my heart every time I did so.

Well, now, while I still think about her a lot, I am able to focus on the good parts. And while I still feel sad, Its no longer at a heartbreak level.

Its not a big step forward, maybe, but I will take it.
