Today has been one of the best days that I can remember. I woke up with a sense of peace, a feeling that I hadn't felt in so long. I already scrubbed down the walls and counters and as I'm on my hands and knees scrubbing the floor with a strong cleaning agent, I'm smiling. I sit back, ring out the rag into the already murky water and decide to change it, the smile never leaving my face.
Looking over my work, I felt a sense of pride knowing that I'm the one who scrubbed this place spotless. I walk to the water tub to empty, rinse out, and refill my bucket of water. Reaching for the cleaner, I unscrew the top and grin at the smell. The smell will forever remind me of this day, the day that I took my life back.
