Mid like Crisis

publication by: Elizabeth Wallace
Written on Jul 30, 2014

It has been a tough couple of years.  The usual difficulties that life brings have been made worse by the astoundingly bad decisions I have made.  When I look back at how I have conducted myself I am struck by how similar it is to an angsty teenager.  Consistently seeking someone to save me yet loudly proclaiming my need for independence.  Challenging people to earn my trust yet all the while never trusting myself.

Nearly 40 years alive i am perhaps having the proverbial mid life crises and so I am giving into one last self indulgent episode of self reflection.  "You've changed!" is often used as a negative,  as if to imply you are a traitor to your core beliefs but from now I am going to embrace my changes as natural progressions.
