Micro/ Flash Fiction Theme: “I do remember now!”
I remember a time when my pain wasn’t as common as breathing.
The journeys I’ve taken where walking was simple.
The celebrations when eating food did not feel like poison.
My naivety in hoping to lose weight instead of desperately trying to gain it.
I recall all those moments, and then I remember now.
My broad smile in the face of adversity.
The calm of being weathered down and seeing what’s truly important.
Facing my inner demons again and again and being ready for more.
I do remember, now and always, to “rage against the dying of the light.”

This is not a flash fiction, but a flash fact. I do deal with a whole host of health issues. 😅
