remember asking my mom to bring me my black-and-white
L marble composition book to write things down while I was in Dominion Hospital on Sleepy Hollow Road, in Falls Church, Virginia. I was recovering from a severe episode of bipolar mania.
There was such urgency—I needed to capture my thoughts, to document my psychotic breakdown as it was happening. Even then, I knew that one day it would be a story I wanted to tell.

Imagine September 11, 2001. Now imagine believing what happened was all your fault. This piece, “We Fly in Planes,” by my fellow @southeastreview.bsky.social alumn, @rachelwimer.bsky.social, is so gutting and beautiful and true. 😭 🙏 www.southeastreview.org/single-post/...

“Remember when we slept, you curled up behind me, and we spent the entire night like one organism, breathing in and out in unison. One mashed-up human heart. One mashed potato heart. Remember when you ate mashed potatoes?” Love this story by @writesloud.bsky.social 💔
