NOT THAT LONG AGO

MONDAY MORNING MEMORY

Not that long ago, I was not a mother.
Not that long ago, I got more than 4.5 hours of sleep a night.
Not that long ago, I couldn't have imagined being pregnant.
Not that long ago, I didn't live in this apartment that feels like home.
Not that long ago, I wasn't partnered with the most amazing man.
Not that long ago, I was brokenhearted.
Not that long ago, I was crying at someone else's wedding.

Not that long ago, my life was altogether different.
Not that long ago, my purpose seemed to be purely self-indulgent.
Not that long ago, my five year plan included all the things I have now.
Not that long ago, my idea of a great night did not include baby smiles.

Not that long ago, my world was a memory of another life...
