A Lot

Sometimes I feel like a decade of my life just vanished—poof—and with it went a hundred seasons, a thousand holidays, ten thousand meals, twenty thousand conversations, a hundred road trips with the windows down, a thousand grocery runs for people I don’t even speak to anymore, birthdays I secretly hated, a hundred hugs that didn’t fix anything, a thousand mornings spent staring at the ceiling, twenty thousand texts that started with “Hey” and ended with nothing, endless stretches of time alone, a thousand nights telling myself it would get better, and a million plans to fix things that went absolutely nowhere.

It’s been… a lot.
