Change is always present. It's not good and it's not bad. It's just there, all the time. Despite this fact, people (including myself) find it very hard to accept it, embrace it, and ultimately know how to deal with it.
This summer for me has been a summer of change: I am a mother and adapting to my new role is a challenge. One of the most difficult aspects has been the change this has brought to my relationship with people: my husband, my parents, my friends. My friends here in Greece have been difficult to deal with this year because so much of us being together requires coordination, which is so much harder with a baby. I have felt bitter, angry, melancholic and so many other things. Most of all I feel that it is hard for me both to accept and to embrace the fact that things are different now. Perhaps I just don't know how to adapt.
I've always wanted to be stoic, blasé, wise. It's hard, more now than before. I guess though that the super emotion hormones are stepping in big time and are not going to let me do that. Not any time soon anyway.
But this is what life is about anyway (as Madonna knows all too well): adapting, changing, evolving, never being the same person twice "cause I'm a million different people from one day to the next" as my old favourite verve song says.
I'll do my best then to accept all this and change with the time.
