The Tenth - [ written ]
Jan. 21st, 2014 12:36 pmJanuary 21st,
It has taken me some time to remark upon this, more because I can barely believe it myself, but it seems that I have been here, now, for over a year.
It doesn't feel like it sometimes. There are days when it feels like I was in my home only yesterday, surrounded by my family. [Mourning my losses.] Then there are other days where I feel as if I have been here for a lifetime, and not one I regret.
This can be a terrible, frightening place, but I cannot say I regret my time here or resent the force that brought me here. I also cannot say now if, given the choice, I would immediately or happily go back where I came from.
That would require giving up so much that I have come to treasure.
I confess I look forward to the rest of my time here, no matter how short or long that may be.
