The Days

When we say these are the days what are we referring to? The nights in bed by 8 watching self-development YouTube videos or the days that don’t end until 7 AM and you can’t tell if you’re drunk or drunk in love?

Maybe “the days” are those moments when you realize you’ve gone a day without wincing at the thought of them because you finally stopped constantly thinking of them. I think these are all the days, for the people we are and are becoming and have been in our life.

All of these moments serve a purpose for the days we need hope, to laugh, to cry, to sigh with relief - to be proud of the life we’ve built, for the things we’ve overcome, for the joy we’ve felt. And for the few and far between moments of optimism- to consider all the days to come and look forward to.
