Hush Now, Child

It's weird, sometimes how you'll be going through a phase in your life without even realising it.

At the time you'll think you're in a rut or at ome sort of baseline. Some sort of back-to-normal treading water place, but then years later you'll hear a song and it will remind you of a precise moment, some integral scene in your life you somehow missed in the first edit.

And instantly that era becomes a location for you, something you can stick a pink in on a map, even though at the time it felt like nowher. Clumsily, accidentally, you realise how it felt to be you for a while; how some imperceptible truth was just floating above your head - how it stayed up too late with you, how the sweat dried on your forehead and your hair got tangled in it, and how it was an animal all its own. How you're somewhere different now.

Because eventually you remember that you've been moving the entire time. Whether you're party to it or not. You're moving towards someone and away from someone else, always. Some nights it just feels truer than others.
