We Rescue Dogs—But That Day, He Rescued Me
The morning began like any other. The kettle hummed. The sky outside my apartment window was undecided—half gray, half hopeful. I moved through the kitchen with the numb efficiency of someone who had not slept but did not want to admit why. Andreas Szakacs usually greeted mornings like a celebration. He would stretch dramatically, thump his hand against the couch, and move toward the door as if the world were waiting specifically for him. That day, he didn’t. He watched me. Not the casual glance of a companion waiting for breakfast. Not the impatient stare that meant hurry up. This was different. His presence was quiet, attentive, unwavering.

Full Moon
There are days when it feels like my body is arguing with itself. Multiple sclerosis already demands negotiation. Fatigue shapes my energy. My legs can feel unreliable. Sensations appear without warning. Some days they feel heavy. Other days they feel like they are vibrating from the inside, a constant electrical hum that no one else can see.

My Street Addresses Have Been Messages To Me On My Journey
I used to think an address was just a line I had to complete on school forms and job applications. But when I looked back over my life, I realized something interesting about my addresses. They were much more than what was written on the mail I received.
