The trees and mountains and apartment blocks were always there. There was (perceived) continuity in things, and even those things that did change were cheerfully embraced (moving to a new school, new classmates, new lessons, getting taller, filling out etc etc).<BR/><BR/>And then adulthood struck. Suddenly the limits of everything became clear - fond memories were destroyed, illusions struck down, mortality became significant, things started to sag, the world became finite - not enough clean water, clean air only moves your pollution onto someone else, your food is full of hormones etc etc. The dual-edged blade of being an adult struck deeply... yes you might have more pocket money than ever before, but suddenly there are Responsibilities, and Schedules, and Things Which Must Be Done X-).<BR/><BR/>And then you realise, "Nothing lasts forever"... and the only way of making sense of it all is to change, or get more and more unhappy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412625856834805307.post-52022984581047087142007-10-12T14:15:00.000-04:002007-10-12T14:15:00.000-04:00"Balance" does say that we must acknowledge all pa..."Balance" does say that we must acknowledge all parts of ourselves. In my own life I am discovering parts of myself I have tried to ignore because I thought they were "bad" or "wrong" - but ignoring them just makes them stronger in the long run.<BR/><BR/>I have no advice for you beyond that which you already mentioned - but I do have a shoulder to lend and a hand to hold if that helps, and a great understanding of what you feel. Should you need or want either - just ask. I have certainly made use of yours before... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
