When everything around you is crumbling to pieces and everything is falling apart? Your anchors have been rudely uprooted and you've been sent drifting with nothing to hold you down?
All you hear about is everything you're doing wrong and instead of assistance, all you feel is criticism?
When all you've ever known is suddenly different than anything you've ever known?
And your world expects you to go along with the new flow without question. What's the problem?
Arnold Bennett said that "Any change, even for the better, is often accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts." That's putting it mildly, Arnie.
I hate change. I abhor it. I detest it. All because I fear it.
Fear it, you say? Yes, I'm scared of change. And when I'm scared, I tend to lash out. *gasp* Yes, I admit it, I am a beast when it comes to change.
And my life has been stressful for...9 months now?! So on top of that, I'm supposed to stare Change in the eye, shake it's hand and welcome it into my bosom?! And no, I am not talking about people, per se. I'm talking about change in general.
So although most everyone knows how stressed I've been lately, they seem to still expect me to take life's gut punches with a smile. NEWS FLASH - I am only human. A very imperfect one, at that.
So to all those who have borne the brunt of my "lashing out", I apologize. It has not been intentional.
