So, I have gone away for a while.
Just after New Year’s.

I am here now. Alone.
With myself. With my thoughts, my fears, my life.

A month on my own, far away from everyone who loves me, needs me, and who grieves me a little all the time, even though I am still here. I have stepped out of their lives for a moment, or what may feel like an eternity, to find myself. Not again, but anew.
