Dealing with change


Change and how you address it is a real enough issue for many people for whole variety of reasons from something relatively mundane such as a change of address  where there are people to contact for personal reasons such as friends, organizations you do business with or notifications for things like local authorities.

It often feels like there's a lot to be done.

Some changes aren't so important but may have things to do with relationships where often we know a good deal about each other as much as we may keep some things private which might include things and people who we take an interest in following where a friend may from time to time get or give us something connected with that.

It's not the end of the world if we no longer watch a show, follow a pop group or sports team but it makes for smoother relationships if we keep our friends up to date around such things.

When we get into things about our identities such as finding more about our pasts, where our families are from things connected to sexual and gender based identities things can be more complicated such as finding a whole new family line from a different country within these Islands or your sexuality really was different from what you first thought and so close friends make assumptions that now no longer apply openness and being honest about such things helps.

Thus after a long time at one place I have decided to be open around my own gender sides especially as they relate to the little side of me as much as it can complicate things so we all are clear as I learn to go forward as I am rather than some of the pressure I have faced in the past.

Being honest to yourself and to others is the way forward.
