Koko as a Teacher 

Last night I dropped Koko off at West Seattle Animal hospital.

If anything, I see her as a teacher. Keeping her for nearly six months taught me the true value of what it means to surrender. Not just surrendering her, but to surrender on an existential level.

I've been a fighter for so long...Even when I didnt need to be... It's okay to relinquish control over a specific outcome.

My body is actually having adverse reactions to that idea. It's almost like quitting drinking all over again. But if I can quit drinking, then I can quit subjecting myself to unnecessary stress.
