When all else fails in love and war, what more could people wish and hope for other than change. How many painful setbacks and broken hearts does it take to get people to change. I’m going through this myself right now (to change for the better) being taken off adderrall and vyvanse they won’t prescribe it to me anymore because of court. And that’s my loss, I recognize what happened to me that I didn’t just go nuts on my own or end up in treatment or the hospital but in the end it’s also not something I can blame another person for causing. So rolling with the punches right now. Including the doll hanging outside of Columbia’s protests with a name tag, you know my Dad went to Columbia and during the protests in his year, the semesters courses went pass fail. He told me. I’m trying not to get too flustered out there, bring up a connection to Eminem or reaffirm who I am as though it’s not unimportant, those are very important connections to me, none of which I should ever be made to feel threatened by anyone else’s viewpoints. This is life people will think what they want to think no matter what groups I belong to in life just do my best on my own to be well liked, and represent others well is the best I can do. 

When you need change, it’s recommended by Google, “to step outside of your comfort zone is key to personal growth.”  [1] When we say people need change we are meaning, “explore the inherent human desire for growth and improvement, discussing why people are often motivated to seek new experiences, perspectives, and personal development, highlighting the benefits of embracing change and strategies to navigate it effectively in various aspects of life, including personal, professional, and societal situations.” [2] 

According to Tim Kastelle, “It turns out that people don’t hate change at all.  In many cases we actively seek out change.” [3] So what’s holding us back. I for instance am someone who comes up with a system that works for me and sticks to that system. Now that I’m changing meds it’s a tough pill to swallow and process that it’s the meds that needed to change in order for me to change, when I felt like it was the meds that made me feel better or smarter, and will just have to do the same kind of work off the meds which I’m nervous about. I have tried working as a paralegal once before off adderrall and would be happy to try again. So that’s my difficulty accepting this change in my life which maybe isn’t a big deal to others who expect to hear from the same Leslie that they got when I was on meds. Don’t give up, keep trying until the job is done, learning is a process you don’t have to have everything figured out to be happy and you don’t always have to be right to feel good about yourself it’s okay to get help and advice from others no matter how much you cringe at suggestions, it can’t all be that bad, there must be some sunlight and rainbow on the other side of fear of not knowing what will become of you or how you will end up in the future, just have faith.
