I embraced that hope for a moment, grabbed onto it with both hands, and held it close like the rare treasure it was. Then I let go of it, let it float away like a butterfly on a bright day, because the darkest part of the night was yet to come, and t...
How do you let go of anger? How do you release a fury you’ve been standing on for so long, you would stumble were it yanked away?
