the moments;
In this experience of going through this journey with my mom, I found myself grieving the disruption of my own life. My life as a girl in her 20s was suddenly flipped upside down. I was no longer awakened by an alarm starting my typical 9-5 and a cup of coffee, but rather by the sound of endless calls from hospitals and insurance on bills and the unspoken fear of what’s to come. I see others my age, traveling the world, enjoying nights out, and buying new things and I realize that’s not what my life looks like. But in that, I also realized society has normalized our privilege as a “way to life” when in reality, all those things are a luxury—a blessing, when uncontrollable factors like health don’t suddenly threaten every aspect of our life.
I now feel comforted by a new perspective that what you see everyday in media and in others is very much a privilege. Beyond that privilege is a real blessing— a gratitude in the small things: being able to smell the flowers with my mom, grabbing wine with friends & hearing myself laugh, absorbing the sunset, and hearing my comfort song live. I feel privileged I get to experience a hardship in my 20s that will forever change who I am, making me stronger for whatever life throws at me. Some days are much harder than others and it becomes difficult to remember this privilege. But truly I’m so grateful for the present and the consistent reminder that happiness is not a state of being, but a moment— a memory.
