starter call. @routehome.
A hollowness inside her chest where her beating organ ought to be. The ache she hasn't felt in decades, not since she was barely above the age her youngest is now. I've tried everything... to feel anything. But then again, she's never been one to ever ask for help, to say she's struggling. How could she? There was far more than herself to care for. “ I'm fine, it's fine. Everything is fine. ”
