When I Was


When I was… When I was what? There are so many different words, phrases, thoughts, emotions that could finish that sentence.

When I was old.
When I was young.
When I was afraid.
When I was five years old.
When I was leaving the house.
When I was born.
When I was a kid.
When I was living.
When I was dying.
When I was a newlywed.
When I was a widow.
When I was over-the-moon happy.
When I was in the depths of despair.
A very specific time and place and person.

When I was…
When I was me.
