I wrote this on September 20, 2016 on my mom’s birthday while I was in Ireland celebrating what would’ve been her 60th birthday. It was the first time back “home” in 12 years, and flood of emotions came over me that just spilled out onto Facebook of all places.
During this quarantine I’ve had a lot of time to reflect, assess, and just sit with my thoughts for the first time in a long, long time. I think this is the most honest I’ve ever been, and I want to get back to that.
