Lately, I have been thinking a lot about the ideas that so many have about “getting back to normal.” An event happens and people talk about getting back.

I don’t believe that it is possible to get back. Throughout the course of a life every cell is regenerated. Every cell becomes new. Yet, it is all considered normal.

What if instead of constantly trying to be who we were or, trying to be who we think we are going to be we could just be who we are?

I’m not saying we shouldn’t try to grow. I’m not saying we shouldn’t remember the person that we used to be. I’m just saying we shouldn’t be in a constant state of grieving the person that we are right now.
