Therapy journal: entry three - what am I missing
I have another assignment form Nathalia. 'Loss' is something we talk about a lot, since what really caused my major breakdwn this past summer was having to leave Salem, MA, the place I'd lived for the majority of my time in Massachusetts. Salem was and still is home in a lot of ways. There's a lot about it I miss:
The smell of the sea in the air
The sunrise/sunset over the Point
knowing the back ways to every place but still not knowing them all
the cheese shop
Katie and Alex and their dogs and their pets
the kids
Carole and Princess Sharpie Teeth
the sound of salsa, merengue and reggaeton music on the weekends
the uncle who would always gush about my car
the murals on the buildings in the Point
the Dairy Witch and Treadwells
But there's other things I miss too:
being able to toddle across the house and snuggle in my sister's bed with her and the cats
talking about everything with my Cousin Andy
the little Asian grocery next to the thai place I liked in W Palm Beach
getting up early to fish off of the pier at Juno Beach
Erin and the girls
Emily and the girls
my sister
being able to be sick and not have to take care of myself
coming home to a human
coming home to dinner cooked
feeling loved, wanted and appreciated
feeling like my opinion actually matters
