Sometimes life has a way of changing you, changing you in ways you have been wanting to change for so long. Sometimes when that change comes we fight it like crazy. Even though it is what we have been praying for. We hold on like crazy because the hurt is familiar. Life without that hurt could be so unpredictable. Life with that lightness is so unfamiliar; and scary. There is incredible vulnerability in happiness and freedom, in truly being open to life. When the changes come, perhaps it is just growing pains. Perhaps life is shifting everything for the better? Can we trust that on the other side of this pain is deep understanding, joy, acceptance, and freedom? Can we trust that things are always going to change for the better? I don’t really think that there is a choice if we want to feel good. Surrender; as there is more pain in hanging on.
