And it’s worth every penny.
Worth every tear and dark moment.
Change is often forced upon us. We aren’t ready, blindsided, but there’s no other choice.
And when the only villain or hero in your story left standing is you, that’s a real mind f$&k.
Change might be inevitable and natural, but it can hurt like hell. It introduces you to the worst (and best) parts of yourself.
Your new life is going to cost you your old one. And many days you’ll mourn that old life. You will grieve hard.
But the strange thing is, you’ll realize faster than you can imagine that the new life, the new version of you, wouldn’t be possible without that very loss. You’ll realize between tears and coming up for air that what you have now was ushered in by grief. Brought forward, unearthed, by the most painful period of your life. This is the great paradox isn’t it? Pain so profound that draws the life from your veins only to resurrect you.
Better? Well maybe not. Different and also profound? Guaranteed.
