approaching “the new thing”.
as of friday, there are some pretty big changes in the tentative plan i had for my life. but there is something about the unexpected that evokes a sense of the ethereal in you. plans falling through, other things working out, and all of it working out in a way that makes your mother happy…it’s all a bit confusing to take in, especially since my mother is so hard to please. but ultimately, it’s not about what you thought your life was going to be like. this is life, very rarely do things work out exactly the way you expect them to. but in the meantime, you have to make it a point to embrace “the new thing” with as much gusto as is reasonably expected. it’s all you can do. and at least that way, you’re disappointed less.
