I was reading Cara Says It All, by Cara Alwill. She was talking about her upcoming marriage (and she is becoming a stepmom!). Her post was all about “ghosting” your old life. She is leaving NYC and starting a new chapter in Florida.
Life often offers us turning points, and we can either go in completely and free-fall into something new, letting go of the old, or you can take bits and pieces of your life with you.
We often frame change as loss. But the truth is it isn’t always loss. It’s not truly a loss when it’s good.
Sometimes, we get more than we even knew we wanted. Sometimes, others don’t understand it, but they don’t have to.
“But now I know. I’m not giving up anything. I’m getting everything I ever wanted. Even the things I didn’t know I did,” Cara Alwill writes.
I know I have experienced that, too. We get even the unexpected. Life presents us with bonus gifts. Sometimes, life can be that sweet.
