Where I Thought I'd Be by Now

The number this morning is fifty.

Not fifty as in halfway to something. I don’t know what the something would be, or where halfway falls on the line I’m walking. Just fifty, a count of mornings I’ve sat down and written something here instead of not writing it.

I thought I’d be further along by now. Not in a self-critical way, more the way you think you’ll be somewhere by dinner and then dinner comes and you’re still on the highway. I had a vague sense that fifty days in would feel more decided, more settled, like the fog would have burned off by now.
