It Didn’t Exist

Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to.

I was hanging on for dear life to a world that only existed in my mind. Once the notion of it actually not existing took root & started to grow, the real life began to fill in. Like dying & coming alive at the same time. It didn’t take long at all before I’d said goodbye to my entire (non existent) life & was building anew. It is, unrecognizably, so far behind me. I’ll never be there again.
