End of May 2022: Leaving

Cover image by Amelia Fay

Leaving is hard. It is so hard to close chapters of one’s life, whether they last for a long time or for short periods of time. I often need time to process the big changes of life. The more profound lessons and realizations may not come until much, much later. Years, even.

I hope you are finding closure as the various doors of your life may be closing. I hope new doors open and the fresh air comes in. I hope all is well.

I feel very grateful for so many people in my life and I think I am going to find more ways to act on that feeling. Sending letters, giving them a call, etc.

At the end of the day, maybe loss is not as drastic as it seems. Or maybe it is exactly what you need. Or perhaps it is one of those phenomena of life that evades all explanation but asks only for acceptance.
