I get out of my car feeling tired and drained. My heels were killing me and I wanted nothing more than to get them off and just lay down on a sofa or my bed.

Today was my first day at work, and, I tell you, it was hectic. I had forgotten what being a lawyer entailed. Forgotten just how hectic it was. The countless hours you are on your feet or on your chair buried in papers that you need to go through.

Most of the time, I would go over my clients' cases and the evidence that, by the time I was done, I felt like I would lose my mind. Like I was going crazy.

Despite how tiring my first day was, going back to work filled my entire being with a kind of energy that I simply can't explain. For the first time in two years, I felt alive. I felt rejuvenated. I felt like some of the missing pieces inside me were finally fitting into place.

It honestly felt nice to go back to work. I missed it so much. I didn't realize just how much I missed being a lawyer until I went back to work today.
