Part 1 – Grief
I haven’t written in awhile, and now I’m feeling ~emotional~. So here I am again. Doing the only thing I know how to do when I am ~emotional~. It’s just one of those days I guess.
To the people who follow and support me, thank you for still being here even though I haven’t been here in awhile. Life got chaotic, and mostly in a good way. I didn’t prioritize writing, and if I’m being honest, I still don’t know if I will. As much as I would love to, other things are asking for my attention. But I’ll be here when I can be, and I appreciate that you’ll be here too.
This is me living my part in the human experience. Emotions are fucking strange. Today I read something that made me think about grief. Maybe that’s why I’m sad. Someone close to me passed away about… 7 years ago now. Wow. I can’t believe it’s already been that long. Grief is a raw emotion that lives on within you, although it never really looks the same.
Existing in the space of grief looks like days where you feel like you’re spinning out of control and days where you feel like it’s under control. One day your grief might not be so aggressive, one day it might just be a graceful memory. One day your grief won’t look like it did in the beginning, but it’s still there. It never really goes away, it just grows and changes into something different as we heal. A reminder that we loved someone so deeply and it was beautiful.
So today, my thoughts on this page turned out to be about grief. And I kinda do feel a little bit better, so thanks for reading.
I’m not sure if this resonated with anyone, but if it does, just know you’re not alone under this sky.
