My parents and my brother still show up in my dreams. They're still as shitty as they ever were. Abusing me emotionally, threatening me with violence, or casting me out.

The difference is that I stand up for myself now. I fight back against them when I never did before. I did my heels in and stand firm. I call them out on their behavior!

I still wake up crying, but it's clear that I've made progress when I used to just shut down.

Despite being told in academy we're the "post office on wheels", I know most don't carry stamps on them and just try to get home.

I thought it could be interesting to try it anyways. I always have a few customers talking to me or asking for their mail.
