change


In an attempt to write more, I have apparently taken to the style of writing whatever I am thinking or feeling in that moment. I dont edit or write rough drafts.
I was thinking about how different my life can be from week to week. This has been a crazy year. A week ago I had a different life. I was living with my ex, wondering if I would be able to keep my foodstamps because of it. I was home with Ama for winter break, planning a move.
This week I live with another mom, I have plenty of money on my food card, I have a new client, Ama rides the bus to school again, it is a new year.. and it feels like a new life.
A month ago was another life.
October seemed to have a whole different life, and 3 months before that... completely different!
In those months there were even major deviations. I like a life full of variety... but how about some stability too.
please.
Maybe the important things are stable in my life. I have food, a place to live, certain people who will always 'be there'.
I dont think there is a point to this. I was just noticing how different things can be. Certain people are very important in your day to day life one day, then they seem like a figment to your imagination the next.
Things seem very scary one day, then forgotten the next.
At any point a new person could enter my life and change it all again.

  1. life is change... feeling this alot lately! people come and go... life is real, then pushed into memories, which fade over time...

    and yes, true "stability" only comes from the basics... food, clothing, shelter and tribe. everything else is fleeting...

    embrace the changes! its a grand adventure, this precious life! no need to fear it... :)
