I think I first posted here when I was somewhere around the age of 22.
I’m 35 now. 13 years have passed. I’m closer to 40 than I am to 30. I have a few grey hairs now, if you can believe it.
I’ve deleted all my social media accounts that documented decades of my life, but not this one. My public-facing accounts were really for everyone else. This account was never for anyone but me.
Scrolling through my posts from years past, I’m hit square in the chest with bittersweet nostalgia. I wonder if, 13 years from now, I will look back at this period of time and feel the same longing, the same sadness, the same hope.
