“Change is never easy for anyone. And yet we do not ever remain the same, do we? Every moment, every hour, of every day of our lives is a stumble from one variation of our existence to the next.
Constantly revolving, one can find it hard to adjust. Difficult to put one foot in front of the other without tripping over one's own well-polished shoes.
Deciphering whether the change was good, or better still, deciding that it must be good - or rather ignoring the unacceptableness - was a strength I possessed.”
― Eliza Knight, The Mayfair Bookshop
