The Change of Shape

"Every positive change - every jump to a higher level of energy and awareness - involves a rite of passage. Each time to ascend to a higher rung on the ladder of personal evolution, we must go through a period of discomfort, of initiation. I have never found an exception."

-- Dan Millman

Dammit! I know this to be true. The last few days were rough but it's getting better. Still a little shaky and hoping I didn't act too terribly over the last four or five days or so, maybe it was a little longer than that. It started last week and some ingredients dropped in to get under my skin something awful. Disappointment first. Dude just stopped calling for the most part though with him, I know I was fine. And there were another couple issues that made me feel uncomfortable around some of the people I love. No one thing is ever the problem, there's usually only a catalyst. The feeling of knowing that no matter what, some relationships are just meant to change shape. And that change is often discomforting.

But - you move on. Once you're ready. And you learn how to love in a different way, a way more suitable to who you are now, not who you were before.
