The Days Between

Nobody really prepares you for the days in between.

The days after something changes. After a goodbye. After a decision you knew you had to make, but still found difficult to accept.

They tell you that endings make room for beginnings. That everything happens for a reason. That one day, you will understand why things had to happen the way they did.

But nobody really talks about the waiting.

The part where you have already let go of something, but have not yet found anything to hold on to.

You wake up. You go about your day. You do the things that need to be done.

And somehow, everything feels a little unfamiliar.

Not necessarily bad. Just different.

As though life has moved forward, but a part of you is still trying to catch up.
