What The Future Brings

When I turned 40, I was fresh-eyed and hopeful for the future.

Becoming suddenly swept put to sea by someone else’s mid-life crisis sucked me into a ten year rip tide of fighting for recovery.

Turning 50, 51, and now 52 requires no real reaction except that it has taken cognizant self-differentiating from how outdated “norms” of society want to categorize me.

I am “other” than what is expected to be perceived.

It is my consolation prize to myself that I refuse to compromise as I reestablish my identity.
