S2: E10 Let Go

I have always had a hard time with changes throughout my life. Even though it is the one constant thing to happen. But as I get older, I am realizing how much it is needed and I have been embracing it. Life would be boring if everything stayed the same. Imagine where we would be today if things didn't change and progress. 

Two years ago, I was in need of a new car REAL BAD. My Ford Taurus was good to me for my first years of driving, and more. It got me here and there, but eventually, it was time for something different. Me being me, I felt bad having to get rid of it and thinking about all the good times driving my friends around and going to fun places. But it wasn't even safe to drive anymore... no power steering, the floor was rotted, my door wouldn't shut in the winter time, needless to say, I had very low standards when looking for a new one. Now I have my Nissan Sentra and I love it SO MUCH! There are so many new features that I didn't have before, and the overall style inside and out is quite the upgrade. It was hard for me to leave my old car behind, but I have no regrets getting this new one. I just have to learn to let go. 

Another struggle I had was something so simple, CUTTING MY HAIR. The best thing about this scenario is that no matter what, it grows back! I absolutely love having long hair, but I felt I needed a change. I had been so bored with it and it was due for a heathy trim anyways. Luckily, a happy *medium* was found where we cut off the dead ends and added layers. It was a change in length, but nothing too drastic. Afterwards, so many people noticed and complimented me which was nice to hear! Even though some decisions can be hard, they are worth it in the end if it makes you feel good. Just let go.

Two more changes are crossing my path soon. My laptop is 10 years old, which is much longer than I ever expected to have it. It got me through many college papers and assignments, and all of my post-grad freelance projects! I always have had a PC, but now I'm thinking of making the switch to a MAC. Many people recommend it and say they have had several years of usage with no problems. Here I am again, familiar with what I have now, and afraid to make the change to something new. I had made a goal to get this new laptop by the end of March... but alas, April has arrived. So I need to let go and push myself to go get it!

Finally, I need new glasses. I wanted to get them last year, but then the world shut down. So here we are now, with an appointment in 2 weeks, woo! I haven't been since the summer of 2014 so I am way overdo. Like my haircut, this is a simple change, but I think it will make all the difference. Should I go for a new shape? New color? Who knows! Looking back at all the other changes I have overcome though, I know that I will be able to embrace change and let go.
