21:50.

A colleague I like and respect came back to the office today after a six-month hiatus.

She said it felt like two weeks, I thought it seemed longer than six months.

How do I begin to tell her what happened over these six months if she asks?

I have no idea.

So much happened.

I've grew as a person.

Learnt guts as well as lost some.

How does one begin to relate one's life?

That's why it's so hard for me to keep up with friends.

When they ask, so how have you been?

What do you say?

Good, ok, not.

How does one find the words?

So when people talk, I listen.

When newsmakers speak of their lives, I am a raptured audience.

I cannot give much, but I can listen to your story.

I hope you understand it's important.
