The
transformation can be sudden
Or it may
be subtle that you don’t even realize what’s happening to you
You become
a different person.
Sometimes
it’s a coping mechanism; succour for the suffering
You may
not have any control
Most times
it’s absolutely necessary because life had to shift
And it
could not have happened with your permission.
Not
everyone will see it though;
Often you
struggle to remain the same person
It can get
exhausting.
Holding on
to a version of you that died, a version you are familiar with.
How do you
learn to grow when you are already an adult?
I used to
say some people never recover from some experiences,
Now I
fully understand what that means.
Pain
alters you.
To be
honest, I have no idea what I am doing but I am grateful……
Truly
that’s all I possess….the ability to just look around me and be grateful.
And then
maybe have the courage to hope that if I wake up tomorrow, it will be better.
