You will realize this in your kitchen, as you finish washing your dishes, while your dinner simmers on the stove and your bedding spins circles in the dryer. You'll realize that you can't remember the last day you didn't check your email, or the last morning you went without a cup of coffee, or the last time you went down a park slide.
It's habitual, now. You shop for your own groceries. Set your own alarms. Fill your own gas tank. Tie your own shoes. You wear this independence like an accessory, like an identity, like something you've always known. But it wasn't always here, was it? There was a time when you were called downstairs for breakfast, when you sat in the backseat, when you counted the seconds until your next birthday. The transition was supposed to be obvious. How did you miss it?
The days are getting shorter, but you've endured them before. At some point, you learned how to handle things like cold and hunger and loneliness. These darker days don't scare you like they used to. You're older now. You're less afraid.
