old boxes

I’ve carried so many boxes with me through my journey.  Some which have remained unopened for a long time.  Each box is like a treasure hunt!  As I come across old photos it shows me a moment in time which has long passed.  However, I feel like a time traveler.  I’m able to go back to that moment.  It’s like Im holding time in the palm of my hand.  Letters and cards give me a glimpse of all of the great people who were in my life then and continue to be in my life to this day.
Within those cardboard boxes there is so much love.  There is so much joy.  So many moments which I pushed the to back of my mind because I didn’t allow myself to put me first.

Finally having my own true safe space where I can open up all these old memories and appreciate the nostalgia I will continue my search for a life I once had.  I will hopefully find Julien at the bottom of one of those boxes and then maybe my writing will get better.
