⚠️ Trigger Warning – Emotional Post
No need to worry — I'm absolutely fine now. But a few hours ago, emotions caught me completely off guard.
Isn't it strange how you can go from singing along to the radio, happily driving along, to pulling into a lay-by and having a good cry because your emotions suddenly decide it's their turn to speak?
This 8-day challenge has stirred up far more feelings than I ever expected.
It's made me reflect on 20 years of friendship with Kate and Charlotte. It's made me think about loving a boy band since childhood and how they've been the soundtrack to so many chapters of my life. And it's made me realise just how much has changed over the last 47 years... but even more so over the last two.
So much has happened. So much has been gained, lost, celebrated, feared, survived and cherished.
Sometimes life moves so quickly that you don't stop to acknowledge everything you've been through. Then something unexpected comes along and opens a door to all those thoughts and feelings you've carefully packed away.
Today was one of those days.
Thankfully, the tears didn't last forever. The radio went back on, I wiped my face, and carried on with my day. But it was a reminder that sometimes our hearts need a moment to catch up with everything our lives have been carrying.
