Tara Lipinski Instagram – We danced to Dave for a good 30 minutes tonight. It was healing for my soul. ❤️🩹
I feel like I need to document this so I remember The Space Between. It really is the perfect title for our life right now.
I feel like I’m floating in some alternate universe wondering what this life of limbo will look like or feel like as we rebuild our former life. So many choices I never wanted to make. Too many decisions to make. No routine. I miss the routine the most. I took the daily moments of routine for granted- I never knew they could be snatched away so quickly and completely. It’s not about things. It’s about driving by a familiar street. I never knew when I’d drive by Ralph’s, or park in the usual spot on my street – that was security. It’s about people and a way of life and that is gone..for now. It’s all so disorienting. And I’m grieving it deeply.
But simultaneously the silver lining during this time is the connections with the people in my life. I feel SO much gratitude. I don’t know why I cry when a friend gives me a hug or I open a little care package. It’s just an overwhelming feeling of love. People are so kind. In these moments I truly realize what life is about- love and connection and that’s all that matters. These feelings are as strong as all the terrible feelings right now. So in a way there is balance.
I will remember this night dancing with Georgie girl in a place not my own but a place of refuge that I will always remember…and that overwhelmingly feeling of emotion to think of the friend who made this moment possible. So it’s all about that balance I guess. Being sad but feeling such gratitude and love at the same time.
And on a lighter note. I think Georgie genuinely likes Dave. She kept saying “more more” This is Todd’s worst nightmare to be outnumbered.
