what can happen in two years
if you had walked up to me two years ago and told me what life would be like for me today, I'd laugh in your face. two years ago today I was awaiting to see my boyfriend in person, as he lived 300 miles away at the time. if you would have told me that I now work with him, we live together in my parent's house and are moving into our first apartment together with one of my best friends, I think I would have called you nuts.
if you would have told me my mother's leukemia was actually life threatening, that it would get so much worse, I don't think I would have believed you. "No, it's true," you'd say. "She had to start using her walker again. She started using a wheelchair and was put onto oxygen. She had to go to treatments and bloodwork two times a week each. Eventually, it no longer worked." I'd just say they told us it wasn't life threatening. what do you even know?
oh, and while all this is happening you've been in a global pandemic for over a year now. you were stuck in your house for six months. everyone wears masks, including you at work. speaking of work, you are now an assistant manager at a different location.
I'd walk away. but, alas, every word you said would have been true.
