It’s been a long time since being me was a real thing. Sometimes I wonder if I actually only just recently discovered what being me really means. I’m actually pretty sure that’s the case.

And still, sometimes I realize that my thoughts drift away, back to the time where I was just this young person. Where nothing else mattered but me and my thoughts. When there was nobody to look after, to take in consideration. I think back to the days where there were of course my parents and sibling and our pets. And, yes, they take up some space in your heart and thoughts. But not as much as your kids ever will.
