the house so quite

so many years of pretending
now it comes to this
one moment of truth
where I step in the spotlight
and see what I am made of

Maybe we are not 15 anymore, but the lesson is true. It was when I was alone in the house and Jess was visiting her mamma that one night silence gripped me. I had the freedom to do what I wanted, but I had no idea what that was. I had pretended to be happy for so long and appeased other people. I lost myself. I had been pretending for so long and had so many masks that I had no idea who I was or what I wanted. To be 34 and have that thought was terrifying.
