Wondering how so much time had passed so quickly, questioning why I still felt I had nothing to show for my life, contemplating and regretting past decisions and choices that had impacted my life forever and reflecting on every little thing that had brought me right here to this point. Not acknowledging the fact that I had made it to this point though — still alive, surrounded by love…
