It's so easy to overlook what is currently in your life especially if you are so used to it. Routine, patterns, and familiarity make things feel so boring yet it provides structure to what would be chaos without. But this structure sometimes overshadows what you have. I have worked the same job most of my adult life, but throughout this time I have moved locations twice. I left the last two places because I felt I outgrew them and I wasn't getting what I needed out of it. I have a lot of trouble adapting to change and the biggest reason is because the good things I had at these times were brought back to my attention because they were no longer in my routine. I know that each time theres a dramatic change in my life, it's more often than not for the better, but I can still miss things from times that were not exactly optimal for me. I wear a ring at all times that says "this too shall pass", this has always been a constant reminder to me that the good, the bad, and the inbetween will never be permanent. Love what you have while yo have it.
