One of the things I remember vividly from the time me ex and I separated was my lack of sleep. I would sit in the living room watching tv all night to avoid going to bed. When I finally did force myself to go to bed, I would lie awake and look at the ceiling. [...]

Guess what today is? Can you? It’s my Unanniversary. I would have been married 19 years today. NINETEEN. I’m not sure why I remembered it this year.
