She was raped and I felt like everything we had was a lie,
like everything we were was a lie,
and like there was no true safety in life.






So the well has been a bit dry as of late so I thought I'd try writing one true sentence a day a la Ernest Hemingway. In A Moveable Feast he reminds himself when he has trouble writing that he has written before and will write again. He tells himself he only needs to write one true sentence, the truest sentence you know and start from there. So I will be doing that to soften the clay so to speak, loosen up a bit.
