Curb Appeal<\/span><\/p>\nIf I concentrate, it\u2019s almost like being back inside the old house.<\/p>\n
Scent of fresh-baked cookies floating through the air.<\/p>\n
Soundtrack of laughter from the living room.<\/p>\n
It really was the best, huh?<\/p>\n
Weirdly, never a question we ask ourselves in the moment.<\/p>\n
Yup, turns out I pretty much had it all. What more could anyone want? Well, maybe just a pair of clear eyes. To snap all the mental photographs. Because, looking back now, those days were my overflowing cup.<\/p>\n
Warm blanket vibes? Check.<\/p>\n
Silliness and fun? Absolutely.<\/p>\n
House that felt like a home? Big time. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Strange how we always need to lose something to see it more clearly. Why do we all need that<\/em> trait? In fairness, it\u2019s possible the \u201cgood old days\u201d are just a figment of my imagination. We all romanticize the past. But looking back at it now\u2026<\/p>\nI think maybe I was special. <\/p>\n
Yeah, yeah\u2026I know.<\/p>\n
Sounds like an arrogant thing to say. \u00a0<\/p>\n
And, to be clear, I don\u2019t feel the same way now. But, back then? I think maybe I was. Because everyone<\/em> who came into the house seemed to smile differently when they saw me. All of them. Embarrassing to admit? Sure. But it almost felt like people would gather around me. As if I grabbed their attention. They\u2019d make some comments about my looks and whatnot. The kind of thing we take for granted in our youth. Because it all fades so fast. Somehow\u2026it kind of just felt like I made them happy. Like maybe there was something about me. Oh, and I\u2019ll never forget the flashy ways they helped dress me up. With such care. They made me shine so bright\u2026it almost felt like I was glowing.<\/p>\nOr maybe this is all just my imagination\u2026 \u00a0<\/p>\n
The thing is, it feels so real. Deep down, I know <\/em>it was. Just gets camouflaged by the fogginess of doubt which comes with age. Our weird justifications. Because I\u2019m torn and tattered now. Trying to convince myself that maybe life was always<\/em> this hard. As if that will ease the sting of disappointment. Ease the longing. <\/p>\nBut here\u2019s reality\u2026<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t just special. Those days kept getting better and better. So, do I wish that could\u2019ve lasted? Oh yeah. Being adored. It almost started to feel like I was the star of the house. Possibly even the reason for their smiles. Come on\u2026did I really<\/em> think it would stay that way forever? Doesn\u2019t matter now. Because time moves on. And I guess it was just a season. A glimpse that\u2019s almost too good to be true.<\/p>\nThen it\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n
I was surrounded by so many gifts. Lit up so bright that you\u2019d see me twinkling in the dark. Once upon a time.<\/p>\n
And now?<\/p>\n
Well, it\u2019s colder out here. Feels a bit lonely. Almost starting to think I\u2019ve been discarded. Look, I know all of us are decaying gradually. The thing is\u2026<\/p>\n
It doesn\u2019t feel so gradual to me.<\/p>\n
Been having a hard time recognizing myself these days.<\/p>\n
But let\u2019s not get all mushy here. Because there\u2019s no way to possibly thank you enough for all those moments. I had it better than anyone. You brought me right into your home. Treated me like your most special guest. And it truly was the highlight of my life.<\/p>\n
Maybe we can do it again one day?<\/p>\n
Love Always,<\/p>\n
