Something’s different
Everything’s changed.
Kind of nice, innit?
Ah life goes on, forever swishing about, thrashing with the good and bad.
Trust the process they say, trust the process I do(try).
One of the more interesting things about being self-aware is being aware of the lack of control one has over the thoughts and sensations in the body when in times of temporary turmoil.
Let me give an example.
I can be in a situation that is unpleasant to me, I can sense that there is something in me that is having a negative reaction to said situation but I can’t just not have the reaction that I’m experiencing. I’m just aware of it and the only thing that I should be doing with the knowledge of what I’m sensing is letting it pass by. Sometimes I can and sometimes I cannot and I think that this is where acceptance has to come in.
Let me just be aware that life is a journey of change that beats us all up and down until ultimately we accept that life “is what it is” and we are experiencing it. It does not abide by some idealized plans that we come up with as we are toiling through it.
Just when you think you know exactly how things are going to go, life says “bet” and changes the game up on you.
If you take a half-second to reflect on anything that has surprised you in life, you’ll realize that this is a fact and the very nature of life.
It’s coming, it’s going, it’s comedy, it’s tragedy, and we should all be bobbling about enjoying it either way.
Well enough yapping, you may have noticed some changes.
It’s a rebrand, we love a rebrand.
I wanted to change the expectations a bit about what you might find here.

Examinations of life and thinking by Tahlia Roper.
Topics include: philosophy, meditation, lifestyle, and my personal experiences.
Some of you may or may not be aware of my other blog, I want to incorporate some more of that previous style without having to be pinned down to be a strict philosophy blog. Not that it was ever that serious in the first place but I feel the change makes me feel a tad freer. If this is not in line with what you want in your inbox feel free to unsubscribe.
Look at me, yapping on a Saturday night…😅
Have a great weekend.
