This captured the total feeling of disorientation I felt when the prompt came to me. Not the same circumstance, of course, but looking around and thinking that I wasn't where I was supposed to be. I was so young when I planned my life but a flash of realization that it wasn't that now, not anymore. Releasing old dreams, embracing new ones. Wonderful!

Great story! Our daughter had a concussion in college after a car crash. She kept asking for a former HS boyfriend. He graciously came and within a few days her memory came back to NOW.
