So, I’m taking the time to date myself.
To court myself.
To become my own best friend.
Again.
To re-learn the song of my own heartbeat.
The hooks, the verses, the chorus, and even the background vocals.
Somewhere along the way – I forgot. I forgot that this was a forever job.
That the song of my heartbeat was and always had been the soundtrack of my summer.
Every season after that.
And of my life.
I’m humming it now and I don’t have to share my popcorn with anyone.
–S.
The Messy Middle 🖤
