Changes

It seems that every time I feel a change in my life (as in growth in an area of my life), I find I need to leave something behind. This past week, I was celebrated at my conference for my creative discoveries in terms of novel ways of teaching. I gave a presentation on using the improvisational "Yes, and..." technique to open up new paths for communication between instructors and students. For the next two days, I had instructors come up to me and tell me how much they enjoyed the presentation, and how they plan to implement my ideas into their own teaching plans.

However, this plus in my life came with a minus. The person who I had been seeing had started to slowly back out of the relationship, and I had to be the one to actually step up and say "It's over, and it's okay." I have had to do this before - I don't know why it is so difficult. In fact, I admire someone who can at least write and let me know things aren't working out.

Ghosting (as I have mentioned earlier) is just such an immature way to end a relationship. I mean - let's be adults here. We don't like to have people disappear from our own lives (I heard a great deal about the person from this relationship complaining about a work partner not responding to his texts and calls; I would have thought he would understand how annoying this could be to other people.)

But change happens. I am interested in seeing what comes about from this change in my life!
