Day 341 "Hello Stranger"

I have been away for a while.

Stumbling through the dark and tripping over my fears.

Alone, even in a crowded room.

I know you saw me and thought I was in front of you, but I was never there at all.

I have been travelling alien landscapes and navigating these darkest waters.

I have been away for a while now.

Treading water and walking dark halls, I tried to be there with you, but I could never make the appointment.

I have been away for such a long time now, always trying to find my way back.

Now here I am, after all this time, all this stumbling and crawling, after all these doubts and impossible hallways, and after all these fears and tears.

Here I am, no closer to making it back to me, because I have changed through this journey, and I might like who I have become.

I am no longer intent on finding myself, only the desire to create myself exists.

Now the only words left to say in this moment are "Hello stranger".
