Dear Life:

Team Halloween at my new job

Life, sometimes I want things to be different. But you seem to have your own ideas.

There's been a lot of change in the past little while. Some of it has been amazing. Some of it uncomfortable. Sometimes things I thought I wanted aren't exactly as I'd imagined.

I've started imagining new goals. This is life. This is the human condition. Achieve one thing and it's OK... for a while. But what's next? Achieving, achieving, always wanting what's just beyond my grasp.

That's what all this change is teaching me. I don't know what will happen. It will just happen and I can't control it. When I get there, I'll have something to learn. I might love it, I might learn to love it, or I might just understand myself and the world around me better.
