2003 .

She knows her heart beats to keep her alive. It also beats her up sometimes with its co defendant her mind. Both standing in the dock tethered to her and able to cause disorderly conduct without a mark on the outside. It can be a toxic combination when she fails to believe in herself and all her dreams and just lets everything slide back and not one iota of thought of what she could be . It’s a destructive behaviour pattern and breaks more than it mends. The broken pieces just multiply and sharpen its claws.

Her heart and mind are the mischievous sort and will cause a right song and dance when she’s locked herself up in 2003 and won’t let it be. They hatch a plan to disagree to bring her back to 2024 with misbehaving leading to community service on how to work on letting go she’s clearing out her emotions with the help of cognitive behavioural therapy.

Twelve mandatory sessions to facilitate a more harmonious relationship where her heart doesn’t bleed, and her mind doesn’t constantly see her history. Her life is more so much more than the tag attached to her ankle in 2003.
