Life can contain many distinct chapters. You may even feel like you’ve lived multiple lives in the span of a couple of years, if you’ve moved a lot, changed jobs, changed relationships, or just changed perspectives. It’s rare, if not impossible, that everyone lives their lives in a straight line from birth til the end. Odds are, there are countless twists and turns, unexpected life events, tragedies, and successes that shape the rollercoaster that is your life. It’s part of what makes us human.
Sometimes, though, there can be pressure points where chapters start to overlap and meld into one another. Maybe an old friend came out of the woodwork and now you have to figure out how they fit into your present life. Maybe something from your past comes back to haunt you in ways you could have never expected. Or maybe you’re too focused on the future to remember who you were in the past.
