In this episode of Or We Could Talk About It, I open up about what the past year and a half has really looked like for me—and the truth is, I haven’t really been here. Life felt paused. I was stuck in memories while the world kept moving. It was like being trapped in a one-dimensional prison, where time didn’t exist and I was the only one inside.Only in the last few months have I started to slowly reconnect—mind and body, still out of sync, but trying. And in that process, I realized: time didn’t stop just because I did. I’m a year older, and sometimes I barely recognize the person staring back at me.Dissociation is strange and powerful. Even more so, the brain is powerful. I’m still not sure whether to feel betrayed or grateful for how mine protected me. But if you’ve ever felt the grief, confusion, or disorientation of coming back after being mentally “gone,” this might sound familiar.All I know now is I want to make the most of the time I do have—and finally step back into the world. Because being here, really here, is something we take for granted way too often.— Meghan
