I know now why time seems to be passing me by. Why I look at the calendar in horror as I realize the date. I live in my mind and In my mind I am home. I am not here. I am on a twisted 9 month vacation, but I can go home as soon as it’s over. I can finally rest my bones in the place I always knew to be home. But I can’t. This is home now. I am not here because I am still in the past. I am still pretending to be the person I was last summer. And that person is gone. Just like my home and just like the time I have spent reminiscing about it. It’s time to live.

time marches inevitably
