With all the recent online changes, let’s talk change in general -
Change has been a Constant in my life, even when I was little, my Mother's job had me going all over the US and living there for at least 3 months at a time. It's what ultimately ended in divorce with my step-father. I made almost no friends because of it. Which also added to my "Know It All" persona growing up since pretty much all I really had to do was spend time learning things.How do you handle change? Do you think about its approach or does it often seem to sneak up on you? Do you mourn the loss of the comfortable? Do you find silver linings in the new? Does it take a transition period? Are you able to stay present easily when changes are on the horizon?
Even after my Mother's passing, I was thrown in a constant flux of change, which did not endear me to my Father, Step-Mother or my Half-Siblings. I had to learn to adapt ASAP, and, usually, as soon as I did adapt, the rug would get yanked out and I would have to start all over again. Then Adulthood hit, that was a constant flux, moving every few months, working jobs that came and went every few months, most were due to layoffs because of being the "Low Man". A few were because the company went belly up, but, only a couple. It wasn't until my late 30's that things finally slowed down enough that I could begin to see change coming in advance instead of having it slam into me at Mach1. Gave me a chance to prepare. Hindsight being what it is, I can see where I made a number of mistakes in how I dealt with those new changes, mostly in not wanting the change to happen, and taking the easy road, when the harder road would have been the much better decision. Now, I mostly just roll with it. I can rely on past mistakes to help make better decisions, when, that is, I have any input on the changes that are rolling over me. Since my Divorce, most of the changes that have occured are things that no one could have foretold, let alone been prepared for, nor a lot of the fall out of those events and the decisions that others made, which directly impacted my life, and forced me to make changes that were not in my favor. Still, I have my short time of grief over the change, put my head down and see what kind of change I myself can make to better adapt.
My last divorce, I just wish I had paid more attention to some of the side details, the only thing those would have changed is how the divorce initiated, rather than the shit show it became. As for the impending... waves hand at the current American situation... take your pick. My health limits any kind of chance I could make, so, I am stuck riding this constant roller coaster.Can you think of changes that you fretted over that ended up for the best? What about things that you wish would stay the same forever? Is there a big change that is impending that you think about often? A change you wish you could make now?
