Heart rending. I see a story of addiction and one person whose tired of it.

“Part of the problem was that both of us were still the same people.”
I really like that line. How many times have we invested ourselves for the promise of things getting better? Your story shows the natural outcome of such false hope. Well done.

I love it! You summon several powerful emotions with this, yet they all work together seamlessly for a great read! Fantastic.

“Those thoughts died on my tongue.” was my favorite line. Your writing is straightforward and delightful and you deliver a good story. This experience is pretty accessible— on the surface it’s highly relatable I guess is what I mean. Her name being symbolic of The United States, lady liberty herself, is an interesting dimension.
