Life Preparations
It's amazing seeing people prepare for significant life changes. There always seems to be a mix of emotions particularly anxiety, happiness, and sadness no matter what type of change it is bound to occur. Right now a couple of my friends are going through a pregnancy and another is moving to Chicago. It's an exciting time for them and I'm glad I can be there for them; I really enjoy listening to their experiences and how they are going about them. I'm thrilled for them and their upcoming adventures.
I'm envious of their big life changes. While they are ecstatic for what's to come, you can sense that they reminisce of what was. Sometimes, it's difficult to fully grasp for such a momentous life event before it occurs; I think it's helpful when people discuss it since it helps it become more of undeniable truth rather than just a concept. It also helps avoid the thought of what could have been if things just stayed the same.
Life continues to move on.
