“No matter what you’re going through, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel and it may seem hard to get to it but you can do it and just keep working towards it and you’ll find the positive side of things.”
As I progress into a more serious side of life, I find myself investing in more classic and conservative shift dresses that I can wear over and over again rather than in out of this world ones that you can probably only wear once because it’s too memorable to repeat. I find that as you prioritize other things and navigate through a new and different spectrum of life, it changes you… in more way than one.
Change may be scary but it is inevitable. It’s hard to discern when the change happened though; it’s hard to tell when you became incapable of shaking things off like you once did. I know that was the case for me. All I know is that it happened. I don’t know how. I don’t know when.But here I am today and so far, I like it and would avoid anything to bring me back to how things were. When did everything change? I sometimes wonder this as if knowing the answer will make everything better. I know that it won’t. While growing up is difficult — all I had to do was bask in the newness and accept being old enough to know better — because that’s what I had to do in order to keep living.
Because there’s only so long you can keep asking the wrong questions and expect to find a good answer at the end of it. There’s only so long you can check out of your life before it starts to belong to someone else. Something else.I soon realized that there was always a story at the end of it all and it didn’t usually end in tears.
Transition is movement from one part of life to a whole new one and it can feel like one long, scary, dark tunnel. But you have to come out the other side, because what’s been waiting there might be glorious.
