When we unravel, when we come undone, it is illustrated in as many different ways as there are people in existence. Some of us break into tiny, unseen pieces, leaving an internal shell of who we once have been, our voices cracked and brittle, our skin tender to the touch, and our hearts cracked open and bleeding.

For a long, long time I kept my love of holiday tunes a best kept secret, listening when I was alone, or at times when it could be excused as “in the … Continue reading I wish I knew how to break the spell :: Holidays-by-the-day :: Day 1
