I live a dual life, forgoing sleep to be mom by day and me by night. It seems untenable and yet I am happy, happier than I have been in a long long while. At home, I play with the kids and listen to songs that wrench my heart. When out, I let my hair down, play the fool without guilt or fear, and it feels good to be myself. Home again, home again, and still alone, I don't feel lonely but instead revel in the freedom of doing what I want, when I want. Is it so awful? I know there's something broken, something I'm not sure I care to fix. I don't understand, literally can not relate to people caring about each other in the way I'm supposed to want to, the way I once did. But I don't feel the lack, I don't yearn any more. I don't miss it. I don't want it.
