I'd rather be a comma than a full stop...

For a while now I have been feeling angsty about my life and how it feels like I am in a constant state of transition. It is not a feeling I enjoy. There are currently things up in the air for me that I have absolutely no say over. There is nothing I can do. I realize that this can be interpreted as having control issues, but I assure you that is not the case.

Coldplay has a new song and one of the lyrics says, "i'd rather be a comma than a full stop." For some reason I have been thinking about this a lot. I don't think being a full stop is a bad thing, but I've come to the realization that change makes me feel alive. I am glad to be going through change (obviously not at the time). It reminds me that I'm not stuck in some terrible situation where I have no hope and nothing can change. It can change, and it does.

The ability to experience change is terrible and wonderful at the same time. If I'm not changing then I am stagnant. And that feels even worse changing.

While transition is frustrating and painful it does usually lead to something better. Sometimes.

So maybe God is bringing you to where you are supposed to be.

Love you!
