This was really beautiful, I enjoyed reading it. As someone who is 8 months into being 40, and a nurse who works with cardiac patients, I related to every line. Life is wild. Time spent contemplating mortality has gone from once in a blue moon in my 20’s, to perhaps a solid 10 minutes out of every day now that I’ve entered my 5th decade.
Also we’ve barely met, but I’m a friend of Leilani’s. I’m pretty sure I’ve read every single one of your posts since like mid 2018 and I’m always excited to see it pop up in my inbox. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with the world ☺️
Thank you so much for sharing as well Marielle. And especially, especially thank you for the work you do. I can't even describe the comfort and confidence knowing nurses were down the hall 24/7. Absolute heroes!
Yeah same here, asking the same unanswerable questions in middle age. I think it'll pass like everything else, no pun intended. Seems like most people get tired of contemplating or learn to accept. We'll get there.
Leilani has mentioned you; that's so cool of you to follow along! It's much more fun than writing letters to myself, so I appreciate your listening and kind words.
