In the past year, I have experienced a lot of change. In this piece, I explore the notion of a life before and a life after. Life before is not gone, it’s informing life after, it’s on balance with life after. I examine data points representing days and people on either side of the demarcation line – what led to the turning point and what came next. In the darkness of after, by comparison, I found more depth and vibrancy. I found something more infinite and hopeful. But in looking back, I can still appreciate the streaks of light that carried me through.
