Looking out
Posted on

I wrote this just over a year ago as a writing assignment. My true loneliness of my isolation is raw.
I hope you enjoy reading and looking in my window for a little bit.

mini2z … journey with me
I’ve spent a lot of time looking out windows in the past few years but more so this year. I think of the isolation I feel looking out into the world. I think of the fear of going out because on the outside I look fine but inside I hurt, I’m beyond tired and yet I try to put a smile on my face. I think of the loneliness that I feel even though I have four amazing family members living in the house with me and two pupalups that are always close by. I feel trapped inside and robbed of living a true life and will be stuck behind the window.
Yet, I open the blinds and let the light in every morning. If It’s a day I’m stuck in bed I have a fake window to look at and it’s pretty cool to picture myself in a hammock in the shade listening to the waves roll up on the beach.
This window makes me think of yesterday’s uncertainty and how I try to enjoy the simple things like a cup of tea, my kidlets coming and talking to me, a pupalup dropping a toy in my lap and the light that comes in from the window I’m looking out.
I’m grateful for those little things and even more so on a day when I find myself in bed exhausted after a nights sleep, in pain in every joint of my body, a headache and nausea that just never leaves me, I’m grateful for the sun that is coming in the window I’m looking out.

Why have you isolated yourself?
What are pupalps?
This is a nicely written account Mini.
