Transitions

Some disappointments are difficult to explain because the loss is not entirely visible. It may be the future you expected, the person you thought you would become, or the life that no longer seems possible.

When the desire for change becomes difficult to ignore, it can be tempting to imagine a completely different life. But a sustainable transition may begin with a smaller question: what can change now, without putting everything else at risk?

The decision to change direction is rarely as simple as recognising that something is difficult. The more useful question is whether the difficulty belongs to a worthwhile process or to a direction that no longer makes sense.
