Restless
I read and shared this yesterday: https://lindarosecooper.substack.com/p/when-menopause-restructures-a-marriage. Here's something I wrote some time ago about this feeling.
Honesty is hard
when you have spent so much of your life
not being honest.
When you have hidden who you really are
and contorted yourself
into a version that suits everyone better.
I want to jump out of my skin,
and you ask why.
It doesn’t fit anymore.
That version of me is gone.
I am this one you see before you now:
short sometimes,
wanting to spend time inside my own head,
wanting something and somewhere else.
I am restless.
I don’t want to think about where to live in six years.
I don’t even know where I want to be tomorrow.
I am this one now,
and this is enough.


I feel this too
