After quite a few false starts, finally, the familiar sense of words taking root. You’ve left behind some very blue days. Of course there have been periods of uncertainty before, and you’ve been anxious and tired and scared, but this has been different. It’s been different because somehow, somewhere, you abandoned yourself without realising it. You’re reminded of the time when, as a child, you went out with some cousins to a mall, and got lost. They looked everywhere for at least an hour, and eventually found you hunched over a pile of books in a bookstore, oblivious to everything that had just transpired. To have found you there seemed so obvious to them afterwards—and it’s been a running joke since because, well—where else would you have been. Now too, you suspect, that’s where you might find yourself.
Wow, some parts of it hit directly to heart, so well written ❤️
My heart is so warm after reading this.
