There are things in life we only begin to understand much later.

Lately, I’ve been noticing something that surprised me a little.

I’m just starting to understand what it truly feels like to be loved by people.

Sometimes when we’re younger — or when we’re in the middle of life — we’re simply trying to survive the chapters we’re living in. We don’t always stop long enough to ask what things are supposed to feel like.

Looking back now, after marriage, loss, and the journey of writing my memoir, I see so much more clearly.

I’ve also come to realize how much I love hearing other people’s stories.

Everyone has one.

And when someone trusts you enough to share their story, it fills your heart in a way that’s hard to explain.

Maybe that’s one of the quiet gifts of growing older — finally beginning to understand the story we’ve been living all along.

🎙 New episode of Being Mary is out today.

📖 And if you’d ever like to read more of my story, my memoir Being Mary is available online — you’ll find the links in my bio.
