"Im in a much better place now. I'm much happier, and more stable emotionally, financially, and well. Yeah."
The once dark room wasnt so dark anymore. It held pictures, smiles, music, and statues of people.
The window lingered.
Frustaz finally pressed ~Yes~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Therapy has definitely helped me sort out the numerous issues I had, being her primary care provider for Illua's health for a majority of her life, as despite being her twin, I had none of them and was expected to care for her.
I still have the habit of feeling like I need to take care of everyone, regardless of my needs or health, but I'm now not doing that nearly as much or often, and my support network is in a good place.
The place Illua once stood, being my closest confidant, my best friend, and dear sister is always gonna be empty, but I have a nice little shrine for her. I get some fresh flowers once a week. I burn her favorite incense (Vanilla and Patchouli, custom blended by a local shop), and I talk to her about my week.
I have started writing once again. It still brings tears to my eyes when I sit down and open those documents of info and drafts, but its been getting a little easier with each session.
It may be a while for me to upload a new chapter for both stories, I'm gonna try to write through the tears I'm going to inevitably have.
The stories are going to continue stand alone, with few references to any previous collab, other than to close those storylines.
Hopefully, with all the plans she left me, I can finish the stories in a satisfactory way. Maybe not soon, but eventually.
Here's hoping it works out for you.
I'm glad your doing better, just don't push yourself too much.
Take your time. Take your time
I wish you and yours all the best, Frustaz.
