I will be honest with you. Change is hard. Everybody knows that, but the unexpected events that occur when you least expect it can be the most challenging or amazing thing ever. But, I will talk about the hard part for a second.
Before I moved, I started building up the idea that change is something that I needed to grow as a person. And when I meant to change, I suggested moving to someplace else, and somewhere completely different, to become this new and improved version of myself. However, we aren’t told how a change in our lives can cause a shift in many things. I mean the idealization of this new reality and dreamworld we created in our head, and we hope for it to become true. Sorry to burst your bubble, but it doesn’t always turn out the way you so genuinely dreamed of. But… do not be so disappointed, because if we can change once, we can always change again.
Nonetheless, going back to the sh*tty part of a change or shift that we may go through. After I moved, I started hyping myself up and becoming so energized just to realize that you can’t escape your reality forever. But I was feeling so empowered, so motivated to do all these things that were new and seemed amazing, that I had lost the focus of why I even wanted to change or move in the first place. I realized that I was losing focus when I was so built up in lalaland that coming back to my routine was a bit more complicated than expected. I also started having a kind of a downfall. I started seeing things in a not-so-optimistic light. Why, you may ask? Well, I jeopardized myself. I wanted to anticipate the feeling of realizing that the world is not always sunshine and rainbows. It’s like sabotaging your fantasy.
So, I invite you to start living your reality but in the way you dream of without sabotaging yourself. I know it may be hard at first, but it is better than worrying about what might happen. And may I remind you not to be so hard on yourself, please.
Z.
