Hello old friend. I wondered when or even if you’d ever show up again.

No doubt things have been different this time around versus before; smaller fires being set off inside me. They are more manageable, although the amount of highs from being made to feel loved the last few days has been at a record high in comparison to the last few months without it. Yeah. It’s been a while since I’ve experienced this feeling.

Here you are again, old friend. I almost didn’t recognize you. Going about my day, then the frazzled brain and sadness starts creeping in. Sigh. Usually, I’d hate this part. I don’t today, though. I’m aware this time when I wasn’t before. I’m aware of how much gratitude I hold in my heart. That gratitude outweighs the heavy feelings that make me go absolutely crazy.

Thank you for the reminder. Thank you for reminding me that those high-highs are why these lows are worth it. All part of the process.

Until we meet again,

🤍
