“I reach in my pockets and then stop.
…. I just didn’t bring my phone. I say it casually and it probably means nothing to him but to me this is everything. I can’t think of a single memory in the past decade where I have not had my phone by my side. It’s unnerving but another rule I have added to my growing list in this quest for healing.
If I can’t trust trust myself to give the person I have decided to spend time with my full attention, then I will leave it and make it easy.
…. I will live fully in the moment.”
