[7/300] The world has seen the last of you!

I think one of the things that we, as internet denizens, need to really do is encourage ourselves to let go and fully embrace that change that's coming. It's fine. Leaving things behind isn't as scary as it sounds sometimes. I often see people talk about changing themselves and see them go through these seemingly incredible processes of cut-from-the-cloth metamorphoses... ---- ...only for it to hit you and realize how the change was, seemingly, just for show. And it's fine: Changes can be scary. We humans are fucking uncanny on zeroing into that thing that's going to change and having a "normal one" about it. And again, it's fine to have second guesses about any change coming down the pipeline. ---- You know what's not fine, though? Treating whatever may come as some sort of "other" or something to that effect. Again, it's fine to find yourself at a crossroads and feeling that you are lacking on something to further progress down that path. That fear? Normal as can be. Just don't let those fears rule over you for everything. ---- Life is already so goddamn weird + hard, and the amount of control we exert over our very lives keeps getting smaller and smaller. Embrace the changes as best you can and stop letting things that act more as hangers-on to finally shuffle themselves off of you. I hope you remember to change for the better, and I'll read you later, alligator!
