Of finales and all that...

In exactly 2 weeks I stop being a working woman, and in exactly 2 months an unmarried woman.

Big stuff isn’t it? Maybe not for you reading this – maybe because you’re too young to understand or too old to remember what it feels like to be winding up one monumentous chapter of your life and speeding towards another. Or maybe because you’re not a woman and can’t relate with it, or maybe because you aren’t working or you’re married or both or you just don’t have the imagination to…imagine it.

But for me this is it. It’s as big as it gets. Nothing's ever gonna be the same again, and that's not necessarily a bad thing but it's just so difficult to get used to. It's more change than i have ever had to handle.

A good time to take stock of how i'm feeling.

I feel like crying

Like not talking

Like drowning in work

Like holding time still

Like clinging on to the old and turning away from the new

Like being in the here and now – however messy it be

Like dying – at least in part

Like handcuffs

Like tentacles

Like sunset in a desert

I'm just so scared
