Things I used to be ok with
Me in the distance at Castlerigg Stone Circle, Cumbria |
I seem to be entering a time of change. I don't know whether this is me subconsciously preparing myself to get ready to leave on my travels, or if new events have led me into a state of flux, but I do know that things that used to seem ok are suddenly not ok...
Like being alone. I used to be able to be alone in a sea of couples, friendship groups, families and think to myself "Look at me so independent and capable of handling this situation by myself!".
But that was last year. When I sat in the waiting room at the laser eye surgery clinic before my treatment, I looked around at the other people in the room. Everyone else was there with a family member.
Every single person.
People who were quietly whispering to them, reassuringly touching them, silently supporting them.

And I didn't think "Look at me so independent...".
No.
All I could think was "Look at them...so loved."
