turn and face the strange.

i like change.

or at least i used to,

before it got mean and started pushing me around.

leaving me feeling listless and damaged.

i am experiencing an overload of significant life changes, most of which don't feel particularly exciting or adventurous. i wish i could say that i am handling it all very gracefully. i wish there weren't so many things taking longer and weighing much heavier than i was prepared for.

this morning my mama told me "you're just pushing a lot of shit uphill right now" (which feels very accurate) "but you're strong, and you'll make it to the top sooner than you think." (which made me feel a little better).

things will turn around, i am certain.

i'll get back to that girl who loves change.

maybe i'm not as far from it as i think.

i embraced a little change today...

i changed my last name.

hello. my name is sarah marin moore,

and i am growing up.
