“All things are difficult before they are easy.” — Thomas Fuller
“Our dilemma is that we hate change and love it at the same time; what we really want is for things to remain the same but get better.” -Sydney J. Harris
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Nobody wants to change, but we have to. In order to grow, we must change. I think the quote above speaks volumes. How awesome would it be to change, but not have to do anything in order for the change to happen?
I’m currently going through some huge changes in my personal life. It’s scary. It’s hard. And I question my decision almost daily. Was this the right choice? Did I try hard enough? Even though I know I made the decision that was right for me and my son, that doesn’t mean it felt good to make. There were many tears that were shed. Days and nights of stress and anxiety over what I was going to do. But as my daddy says, “Any decision is better than no decision.” So I made a decision. I left.
My son and I have moved to an apartment after years of living in a house. We are by ourselves now, navigating our new normal. He seems happier now, which is all a mother could ask for. I’ve made our apartment into a home. We decorated for Christmas. We have our tree up. Christmas makes us happy.
Everyday gets a little easier. Do I still question myself? Absolutely! But I’m surrounded by amazing family, friends, and therapist (hahah) who help me navigate through this new chapter of my life.
Here’s to new beginnings for me and him. Embrace the change. Embrace the scary. Embrace the unknown. You never know what is waiting for you on the other side.
