Shout to @fictivedream.bsky.social for another fabulous Flash Fiction February! Love to see these stories AND accompanying bespoke paintings by Claudia McGill. I can only imagine how much work goes into organising what appears so effortless. Fictive Dream are unmatched, IMO. Thank you Laura.

Feeling empty after a loss is a natural response, reflecting deep emotional bonds. Unexpected surges of emotion may overwhelm us, but instead of suppressing these feelings, it's vital to understand them. Personally, I find great joy in movement. So, if you're able, move your body and move for joy.
