By definition Changes is something we all go through in our lives. It can be bad or good. Most of the time it's bloody well great.
I remember when I was younger I was afraid of change. I liked how my life was a routine. It was comforting. Until one day, I just looked at my surroundings and said," Enough is enough, I'm done." And I walked away from the sport of Figure Skating, a sport I loved for so long. This was the summer of my entering Grade 12. This was a huge change for me. It was also the 1st step in the course of my life where I was in control to make my own choices.
Change can be anything from the style of clothing that you wear, the colour of you hair, getting rid of your signature lip colour or perfume you wear everyday. It can also be as big as loosing your job, having a baby, loosing or gaining a significant amount of weight, walking away from your marriage or long term relationship or it could be facing an illness that will effect you to your very core.
All change(s) can have a silver lining to it if you look at the bright side rather than at it negatively. Loosing your job could bring forth your dream job that you've been afraid to see through. Walking away from your unhealthy relationship could bring you other adventures and in the end you'll find your true Mr. or Mrs. Right. In the case of an illness, you'll see what really does matter in your life and you will embrace those very things and it could ever change your outlook you've had your whole life and when you make it out of your illness you can change your direction and outlook for the better. My mom is a testament to that very thing as she's a Cancer Survivor.
For me I've had this a few times. Before I met my sweet hubby, I was engaged twice to 2 different men. Both for short time, but I realized both of these engagements where not going to be lived out with a fairy tale ending. I realized after the 2nd one I needed to make some changes in mylife. I took almost 2 years off from dating. I needed to focus on me, my life, my well being and what I really wanted in a partner. It was hard for me watching my girl friends around me getting married, having babies, however I knew in my heart I was doing what was right for me. Once I was ready to " Throw my hat back into the dating scene ", my best friend knew the perfect guy for me, and girl, she was right. 20 years later we've been now married 16 years, 2 beautiful children with this man. Trust me, we have had our ups and downs, but what relationship doesn't.
I've had a dream job helping run a private medical office and then I got pregnant with my DD and never went back as I felt my time with her was more important than the job. I had a new dream job, saying at home raising our children. Now they are older and don't need me as much. That's ok, as there another change for me in the horizon.
My new venture in change is once again, putting me 1st. It's kinda scary and almost foreign as I've been putting my husband & my kids 1st for a long time. This change for me has been a long time coming. I've been putting it off for so long. I'm 40+ years old and I'm thinking of my future and where I truly want to be, me no one else but me. I truly want to be healthy and happy. I desire to feel alive and not afraid to fail. I want to be the girl who sees the glass as 1/2 full not 1/2 empty. I'm in the process of changing my outlook on life, for the better I might add. I was to laugh in the rain, splash in the puddles like a child, to be carefree and full of lightness in my heart. I want to travel to non family oriented places, sorry Disney still love you but this momma needs to travel out side your gates. I want to take a photography class ( Huge fan of black and whites). I know change can be scary as hell, but you have to embrace it, you can't fight it as you might loose out on the best thing that could ever happen to you. ❤️️️️️️️️️NYTS
