huh....
Over on tumblr, someone posted this macro.
There are a lot of times when I think the same thing and think "woah, really?" or "okay yeah, I am getting older." This time I looked at the date, thought about it and realized that ten years ago, I was on my own and free of my ex-wife. We'd have the occasional short email or LJ comment contacts, but after Christmas/New Year's of 2011/2002, I never saw her again.
It took time to learn to...I dunno, it's hard to explain. It's like when you've had pneumonia or bronchitis and you've coughed so hard and so long all your chest muscles hurt every time you take a breath. And then, at some point, you take a nice deep breath and it doesn't hurt to breathe any more. Or maybe it's like that moment when that two or three day migraine finally ends and the absence of pain is almost a surprise.
So yeah, in 2002, I was still learning how to breathe deeply again and still trying to remember what it was like to be free of pain but at least I'd started the process.
I'll take being "old" any day.
