The Inevitable That Is Change
Ready or not, here change comes
Change. It comes for us all.
It can come in a single dose or in waves.
Some changes in life can be embraced immediately. Other changes not so much. But it arrives at our doorstep unannounced, whether or not we’re ready for it.
Not all changes feel good though.
Some can be devastating. Like losing a family member out of nowhere. That’s a change no one is prepared for. The effect of that kind of blow can last a lifetime if time doesn’t give us peace.
Another change that can cut our souls is the loss of a close friendship.
For a while, the friendship was like a smooth machine that ran well until little changes came out of nowhere that didn’t feel right. These little changes eventually morph into big changes that destroy a friendship.
A romantic relationship (or potential) that derails in front of your eyes isn’t a good change to accept. It can take a while to recover from the pain.
There are countless other changes we can go through in life that are hard to stomach.
