I’ve got 7 minutes until a meeting, but I’ve been dying to write. Anything, something. I’m weeks behind on reading, I’m worrying about friends and their heartaches and triumphs, me missing them because I can’t seem to find the time to plug back in. I don’t want you to think I don’t care.
All my loves both new and old, know that I am aware of you out there in the ether. I do see you even if my presence is ghost-like. A like here and there, a comment, a tweet, a DM.
I hoard all the emails notifying me of your writings so that I don’t fall behind. I want to be present so badly. You all were my lifeline for so long, but now I am stronger and need this world less and less. It scares me. Who am I without all of you? Without Hy?
But the message I want to share today is that I do see you and hear you. All of you. And I love you.
Anyway, it’s time for my meeting now.
Don’t panic, it’s all right, even without Hy… :))
We know you have a professional life outside of your writings and musings. Hope your week is going well.
First and foremost, remember to take time to breathe. While it sounds easy, it’s not and you need to take a moment or two for yourself to take a deep breath.
You are strong person (probably stronger than you give yourself credit for), a good friend (especially to your internet boyfriends) and a wonderful mother.
Just know that we’ll be here if, and when, you need us.
Love you too, wifey!
