Summary
According to Wikipedia, a midlife crisis is “a transition of identity and self-confidence that can occur in middle-aged individuals, typically 45 to 65 years old.” In Michael’s case, this includes a lot of hard conversations, reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, accidentally adopting his neighbor’s German Shepherd, and buying a secondhand motorcycle for some reason.
Hey, no one said that managing PTSD and emotional repression was ever easy.

Summary
Be it as it may – considering all of the reasons why this is very much a bad idea – it was easier to pretend that this is a lucid, trauma-fueled fever dream. It was simply easier to forget the circumstances instead of confronting the logical reality that this really shouldn’t be happening. After all, she was about ready to pop his head off a few months ago. She should be sleeping in her bed right now, trying to nod off the nightmares.
Well go figure, Cassie McKay really loves making terrible decisions for herself. Big fucking whoop.

Summary
The thing about rehab is that people expect it to fix you. All of your problems? They’re gone now, hurray! You can go back to normal life now! Soberity’s your best friend now, good luck! If only it were that simple. Otherwise, Frank wouldn’t be dealing with the wall of distrust and judgement that sits between him and everyone else.
Life just loves to tell him that he can go fuck himself.
AKA: Langdon went to rehab. Here’s the aftermath of it.

Summary
Redemption is a hard, long journey. She knows this probably better than most people. You have to keep yourself afloat amongst the madness, being acutely aware of tipping back into the ether. It’s easier to live within the boundless ocean of guilt than to take accountability - because to take accountability means that you’re willing to work for it, and there’s no way of knowing when you’ll slip up and fall.
Or: A reflection on the in-betweens of life, ghosts, and the human condition, through the eyes of Cassie McKay.
