All of a sudden I was surrounded by silence, overwhelmed by the weight of breathing.
All of a sudden I was lying on the cold linoleum floor of the hospital at 4 am crying myself to sleep.
All of a sudden I wasn't me.
And I was scared.
- 6 months later-
All of a sudden I was driving down a backroad in my hometown singing to verses about a boy and girl falling in love.
All of a sudden I could breathe without feeling weighed down.
All of a sudden I could smile.
And I was the closest to happy i've been in a long time.
-1 year later-
All of a sudden i'm independent again.
All of a sudden I was able to do things I haven't done in a really long time.
And all of a sudden I realize, as I walk in the bright light of the afternoon snowfall, I am scared to lose the little pieces of happiness I've found along the way.
