Living Life in Pieces

The last couple days have honestly been a bit of a blur, and some days it is difficult to think of what to write. The routine tasks take over me now, and I have to admit – I like it. After having friends stay the night, I’ve been cleaning up and clearing out. Letting memories be in the past, and welcoming whatever new is about to happen. And I feel that something new is about to happen.

I’m still moving through that space in between… when you can feel you’re not the same person anymore, but also empty. As if no new version of you has come to take its place yet. This space is full of hopes and dreams, and the highs and lows of emotions that come with it. There have been a lot of those in the last few days.

A lot of tears, a lot of confusion and a lot of elation. The only thing missing is a reason why. But again, life is like that. Sometimes I think we feel things before they happen, and the reasons are revealed to us only afterwards and in little pieces. I think I like the idea of that, living life in little pieces rather than being overwhelmed by the big whole.

For today, it’s a small and quiet piece.
