A yearly pattern I’ve noticed suggests that throughout the entirety of every November, I’m forced into multiple challenging, heart-breaking, or stressful situations. While scrolling back to memories from previous Novembers in my camera roll, the pain and sadness I’d experienced came flooding back into my mind.
