'At this stage of life, I’ve earned the right to decide what to hold on to and what to let go of.'
Two months after this conversation with my mother, I back out of the driveway of the home where my ex still lives and where I no longer do, with a borrowed fanny pack that I will take with me to the Women’s March in D.C., in January 2017.
We go to the playground behind our apartment building. The trees have baby leaves on them; the sky is blue. The air smells yucky, like fish. I am wearing a sweater and a kerchief tied around my neck. Mommy doesn’t want me to be cold.“Yes, but be careful.” Mommy says it’s important to take care of our things.
I don’t care what Mommy says. I can’t stand to look at my ruined Slinky for one second more. I pull away from her and run to the fence.
