Leyendo algunos escritos en Substacks porque no puedo dormir, me topé con este, que me pareció interesante:
“For all the days that linger, for all the days that are monumental and life changing and unexpected, there is so often an ordinary, unassuming, unknowing day before.
A day that looks like every other, unaware it will become loaded with a ghostly nostalgia that’s impossible to remember. The day before meeting someone significant, the day before a life changing idea, the day before a death. Sometimes these moments announce themselves, and they’re anticipated long before they arrive, but so often normalcy turns on its heel and day one of a new direction slips invisibly into life.
Sometimes the moments are loud and commanding; impossible not to know things won’t be the same. Sometimes they simmer and crescendo, all to be traced back to a day where the tracks switched. Preceding each of these consequential days was a day that looked like all the rest.
So, with this logic, within each day that seems nothing and normal, is the possibility that it could be the day before. The day before things change, before everything becomes different.
A day you probably won’t remember; one that’s the last of its kind.
