long ago

Every time someone asks about my past, has questions about what I did or generally just questions who I once was – there is an urge to tell them how long ago it was that I did this.

The length in time seems to make a difference to people. It makes a difference to me too.

I won’t say how long ago it was, but it feels like yesterday. It wasn’t last year, but it wasn’t ten years ago either.

I have found that I’m finally at a point where I can say how long it has been and it doesn’t ‘seem so bad’ to others. I don’t necessarily see it that way.

I have found that the more time passes, the more people are willing to listen to why I made those choices though. And that’s a position I want to be in – the more people read and learn, the more they are able to find some help for those that have done the same thing.
