Stop Expecting Everything to Stay the Same
Life is full of changes, and that doesn’t have to be a bad thing
My life has changed enormously in the past twelve months. Almost nothing has remained the same.
I’ve changed jobs. My parents separated. My social circle is entirely different. My fiancé was diagnosed with brain cancer. I shaved off all of my hair. Everything is different.
