Which sounds like such a small sentence until I tell you it took a year of living here for me to walk through that door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not because it was far. Not because it wasn\u2019t worth trying. Not because there was anything wrong with the place. Just because life got life shaped. Trauma shaped. Survival shaped. The kind of shape where whole little corners of ordinary existence get delayed because you are too busy carrying bigger things and trying not to break your teeth on the effort of still being alive in public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So yes. A year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then tonight, on our walk, my girlfriend just walked in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s the kind of woman she is sometimes. She\u2019ll just do the thing. No dramatic preamble. No panel discussion. No need to sit down and hold a committee hearing about the emotional significance of Chinese takeout and whether my nervous system has any objections. She went in, came back out, and said, bring Roger and let\u2019s order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So we did. And the place was great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it was more than the food. That\u2019s the thing that got me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was community. Or at least a strange little glimpse of it. The kind that doesn\u2019t arrive as a giant life changing declaration, but as a warm, silly, neighborhood scale experience that somehow lands in the body as something much bigger than itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Me. My girlfriend. Roger. A small place down the street. People being kind. Food in hand. A moment in the same general geography where something terrible happened to me and for the first time in a long time, that fact didn\u2019t feel like the biggest truth in the frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That mattered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because I think what shook me was not just that the place was good. It was the feeling underneath it. The weird, tender, slightly fucked up miracle of belonging in a place where I had more readily expected only tension, survival, endurance, and the ugly static of being a woman who has had to keep living in proximity to where her life was once violently interrupted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And yet there I was. With my girlfriend. With Roger. In the neighborhood. Participating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not performing normalcy. Actually inside it for a minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That felt almost sacred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then, as if the universe decided I wasn\u2019t already emotionally vulnerable enough over orange chicken and neighborhood softness, on the walk back we found an open can of tennis balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just sitting there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if you have never seen a 65 pound grey and white pit bull teddy bear realize he has stumbled upon a literal open can of his favorite joy object in the wild, then I\u2019m sorry, but you have not yet witnessed one of the more profound spiritual events available to the human species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second Roger understood what he was looking at after we got home, he lit up. And if you have never seen a 65 pound dog realize he had stumbled upon a literal open can of his favorite joy object in the wild, then I\u2019m sorry, but you have not yet witnessed one of the more profound spiritual events available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not metaphorically. Actually. That dog looked like he had just found religion and it came in fluorescent green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not because of the tennis balls themselves, obviously, though they were objectively iconic. But because of what the whole moment held. Community. Surprise. Joy. Safety arriving sideways. The kind of stupid, lovely, deeply ordinary happiness that life still occasionally drops in front of you like it hasn\u2019t spent the last year trying to emotionally mug you in broad daylight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was too much in the best way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Too small to explain well. Too real not to mention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because there is a lot to learn from all of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the Chinese place. From the walk. From my girlfriend just choosing life instead of overthinking it. From Roger losing his entire mind over tennis balls. From the body learning that safety can arrive in weird little flashes you never would have predicted. From the fact that belonging does not always announce itself with a sign. Sometimes it slips in through the side door disguised as takeout, spring air, and a dog having the best night of his natural life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And I think I needed it more than I knew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because some part of me still expects the geography of harm to remain exclusively loyal to harm. Still expects the neighborhood to belong more to what happened than to what might still be possible here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tonight interrupted that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just for a minute. Just enough. And sometimes just enough is everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chaos in one hand. Grace in the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And me, walking home down the same streets with food in my hand, love at my side, Roger in full walk time ecstasy, and the deeply strange realization that belonging had been waiting down the street this whole time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1536\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wildpoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ChatGPT-Image-Dec-7-2025-11_20_37-AM.png?resize=1024%2C1536&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-452\" style=\"width:39px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wildpoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ChatGPT-Image-Dec-7-2025-11_20_37-AM.png?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wildpoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ChatGPT-Image-Dec-7-2025-11_20_37-AM.png?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wildpoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ChatGPT-Image-Dec-7-2025-11_20_37-AM.png?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wildpoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ChatGPT-Image-Dec-7-2025-11_20_37-AM.png?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wildpoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ChatGPT-Image-Dec-7-2025-11_20_37-AM.png?resize=8%2C12&amp;ssl=1 8w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 165 &#8211; Which sounds like such a small sentence until I tell you it took a year of living here for me to walk through that door.
