It's been...maybe two and a half weeks (?) sibce I heard the news about Corey. I feel like I have had to restart my normal routine of doing things and presenting myself, because I can't still be stuck there.

Yet all I would like to do, still, is lie on the ground with my cats

I want to build a blanket fort and camp out there for a while.

Since I can't do that IRL, perhaps this thread can be a bit of a blanket fort.

Corey wrote a lot about trauma responses & managing PTSD. One topic they were so good at reminding people about was anniversaries: holidays, Mother's/Father's Day, the date something happened, etc.

I would be feeling like sh!t and not know why, then see a tweet of theirs reminding people that hey, this holiday is coming up and you might be getting in your feelings and please be kind to yourself.

And things would fall into place like, aha! THAT'S why I feel like crap!
