No Expectations No Plans Being Okay No Matter What

So maybe THOSE things aren't true anymore, but neither of us morphed into monsters overnight. I've forgiven him and accepted his choices. And I've forgiven myself and accepted that I can grow and not be afraid.

Beautifully said Brit.

It made me think about how we take things/peoples/places for granted over time. It is like we build up a plateau of sorts to happiness, those initial feelings you describe lose power and we think we need something more or different. I would guess it has some connection (the flip side) to the mechanism in which pain and grieving also plateaus over time in a protective manner.

I think this experience will deepen our awareness of how Rs change/plateau and how to shift those changes into growth in all the Rs in our world and future.
