About

This is a journal written in real time. It started before the end and it continues after it. The entries are dated and numbered from a single point: the day it became official.

Everything before that day counts backwards. Everything after counts forwards. There is a prologue that sits outside the count entirely, because some things need context before they need a timeline.

None of this is advice. None of it is a guide. It is one person writing down what happened, on the day it happened, because the alternative was not writing it down.

If you found this and it helped, that's good. If you found this and it didn't, that's fine too. It wasn't written for you. It was written for me.
