“Writing is for now”
It’s your place in the world; it’s your life. Go on and do all you can with it, and make it the life you want to live. –Mae Jemison
This week flew by. I feel like I went to bed Monday and woke up on Friday. I don’t really know what it means when life goes in fast-forward, but I hope I get a few moments of peace over the weekend. There’s something about the speed of this week that makes me not want to miss too much of my girl’s lives. Even though I still have quite a few years ahead, I can feel the future empty nest phase weighing on me.
Relying on my writing and my dreams makes me feel like I’ll have something to dive into during the empty nest phase but maybe I’ll decide I don’t want any of this after all. The thing is that’s not why I write. I don’t write to have something to fall into later. I’m already writing. I thought I’d be in a different place at this point with my writing but here I am showing up tossing words on the page. I write for today. I write for my past self. I write as a reminder to myself that my dreams are worthy of breathing.
