Plenty of things come to mind when I write with this word. Distance means taking a step back from a thing that I have been so focused on to see the bigger picture and maybe use that time to explore my place in the wider tapestry. It also reminds me of how far away I am from family and my culture sometimes. I don’t feel as connected as I should. Feelings are all they are, and I have to keep telling myself that I need to learn and adapt to the culture of my community in order to survive hard times. But I worry that these kinds of thoughts and feelings are bad and come from a mindset of survival and scarcity. Ultimately, I live in a circle where I try to get away from things and thoughts that make me unable to make a choice.
This post is inspired by a word prompt.
