As I Was Walking Downstairs

[thisnewday]

Really weird thing, as I was walking downstairs from my office tonight, it was like I was watching someone else.

And this was accompanied by the feeling that it really didn't matter if I was there or not.

If we still had a daily newspaper, in this sorry-ass town, I think I'd check the obits in the morning to see if my name was there.

Just, you know, in case no one in the family had wanted to break the news to me...

I get those out-of-body flashes quite often.

It does matter that you are here! Because I look forward to reading your entries. :-)

"I get those out-of-body flashes quite often."

Really! I truly think that this was a first time for me. So strange. And thank you for saying it matters. I feel the same about your entries. Although, I think, more justifiably so...

You know I would miss you terribly if you weren't here. I often feel I don't matter, but then something always shows up to remind me that I do.

Disassociation is quite the norm for me, like there is a space between me and the rest of humanity. Have felt it my whole life.

Thanks, E. It's totally amazing, what I've learned, by having smart friends. And I'm glad that you're among them...
