I was peeing in the car every few seconds from a UTI

Several years ago I developed a UTI so painful that in the car on the way to the emergency room, I was peeing every few seconds onto a stack of cloth diapers I'd placed under me.

The rawness of my core wound comes around every year.

The most vulnerable thing I could ever do is ask if you'd spend my birthday with me.

Even as I write the words, tears flood my eyes and spill over.

Gwen Stefani sings, What You Waiting For?

I've been waiting.

I've been holding back.

I've been keeping things to myself.
