Besides teaching him how to swim, it’s been a while since I felt like this. Although I’m not sure if I can really say a while because I can’t remember the last time I actually felt human. Like I’m in my body and not outside of it, watching life happen around me. The void in my chest is nowhere near or even halfway full, but I feel something enough that I don’t dread waking up in the mornings. I don’t know what to call that, but I feel…okay.
