FOWC with Fandango — Former
In a former life, I wrote professionally.
In a former life, I lived in another country.
In a former life, I was a child, a mother, a single woman, a foreigner, a friend, a lover.
Glass-fronted desk full of memories
I have had four different last names, but only one of them matters.
Formerly, I was young and now, I am not. Roll on life.
In all my former lives I was part of the self I am now. In the future, all my formers will find a place on the shelf in whatever life I live.

Until eventually, we need a whole cabinet to put all those pieces in. Sometimes, I have a lot trouble relating to who I was 50 years ago.

This reminded me of Martin Short in Three Amigos: You’re not just famous. You’re Infamous!

A bit melancholy — or is it just me?

It isn’t just you. We are nationally melancholy.

Unfortunately, we don’t have access to “formally”, only NOW. But I don’t know a soul who doesn’t think about formally.., and I am no less guilty.

I don’t think I was being very serious. I had an image of all my former selves lined up on a shelf, maybe with labels.
