Funny, that I put up this post exactly a year ago, and I am feeling it again.
I literally shied away from my cousin the other day. I was in the middle of a room, and heard her coming, and my body threw itself toward a wall; I considered, for a split second, hiding while she passed. I forced myself instead to walk toward her and call a greeting -- but my heart was pounding.

I am wary, these days, of strangers to my pain.
