A letter from November 24th, 2019

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, are you happy? I am writing you this because now (that means: a year ago) you were. From the bottom of your hart. You just came back from Nepal, experiencing an exhausting and breathtaking adventure, returning to "normality" with wife 'n kids 'n cats 'n stuff. You've realized quickly: that's what you really love! Your wedding is 6 months ago, you've seen a relationship develop further, you've seen a 9-year-old and a 13-year-old growing in size and personality. You are fully accepted in your new roles as a stepfather and as a husband. And as a cat's litterbox cleaner, of course. Yet you have issues finding your place in the new family setting. At least it feels like that. A bit shaky. But you are at "your place". Right where you stand/sit/lie... You are NOT in question. You are NOT under scrutiny. Nobody will sort you out, dismiss you, drop you. You're loved. So: relax. Chill. Take a deep breath. Or two. Or three... You are where you want to be. Love Your past self

Looking back in anger...
One year later life had hit me in a really hard way...
