Change is Hard
>> Wednesday, May 18, 2011
I've been through a lot in the last 18 months.
A new job.
A devastating experience.
Some health scares.
A new {old} job.
.....I could go on forever, but that is not my purpose.
All of this change has taught me some very valuable lessons. I've learned a lot about the world, the people in {my} world, and more importantly myself. Unfortunately, some of the lessons have been laced with heart-ache.
Some of the heart-ache lies in the realization that things just aren't the way they used to be. The people around me are not who they used to be. I am not who I used to be. I have changed.
There is no way I {personally} could not have changed through everything.
To be honest, I am okay with the new me. I feel like I have found a better me in all this. I am having a hard time, however, adjusting to the fact that the people I once knew have changed.
....or maybe they are who they always have been, I am just seeing them as the new me.........??

I think we are always changing and growing. I think our personality remains generally similar, but we adapt.
. . .and you will continue to change. It happens to everyone. Realizing you (and things) are changing doesn't have to be a bad thing, but it does require adjustments to be made. That's where things get hard sometimes. Be kind to yourself as you're morphing through the changes. Here's a ((HUG)) from me.
That definitely happens. We can't possibly stay the same throughout our lives, and although it's necessary and healthy, it's tough to see how some things change.
yes, i see change all the time, all around me.. and most days i try to ignore cause it scares me a tad.. me and change, not so good together.. but as you pointed out, really we have no choice..
thinking of you!
It always makes me sad to look at people in my life (especially family) and see what they were, and how much potential they had, and what they've become and everything they've thrown away.
I don't think anyone goes through a heartache without changing a little. And seeing the not-so-good changes in others is just another part of the learning process. Hope you are feeling stronger! (We need to hang out some time...)
I hate changes and do not do well with them!
You have a great attitude!
Praying for you!
I have changed a lot lot lot in the last 15 months. I think we're both a little bit in a state of flux, not sure where we are headed, but pretty sure it is generally in the right direction.
