Stand in the middle of a field.
Put your feet at the edge of a cliff.
Feel the water lap over your bare toes.
***
Throw your arms back.
Throw your head back.
Clench your fists.
Open your mouth.
***
Scream, cry, wail.
Let it all out.
Everything you feel.
Everything you suppress.
***
You will feel hollow.
You will feel lighter.
You will be free.

Early March 2026: 4 Goals Accomplished
It's early March and I've now accomplished my 4th writing goal for the year of 2026. Before diving into the behind-the-scenes of it... why not tell you up front what that accomplishment was? I was published in a 2nd publication for this year. Published in Helix Literary Magazine out of Central Connecticut State University. You can read it for free right now!
