Thank you! That line was very much a visceral translation of what I felt. This whole piece is, to be honest. Writing it all down helped me find a situational calm of sorts.
And you're right about how dreams have only changed address. What I wanted to convey was how, with my daughter becoming the focal point of our lives, my dreams will be taking a backseat. And I'm comfortable with that. Only the memories of what birthed and shaped those dreams are now ghosts of a city I left behind.
Beautiful, nostalgic, bittersweet, depressing. A wonderful piece.
Give it time and take your learnings. Change is the only constant, if it's not the place it's the people around us that change
