Your Body Changed. Are You Supposed to Feel Different?

What did you expect to feel when your body changed?

More confident?

Happier?

Different?

Maybe you reached the goal, or you are getting close to it, and some of those feelings are there.

But so are others.

Pride can exist alongside grief. Excitement can exist alongside sadness. You can love what is happening and still feel strangely connected to the person you thought you were leaving behind.

Because maybe you were never leaving that person behind.

I do not really believe there is an old you and a new you. There is you, continuously evolving.

The body can change much faster than the stories, memories, expectations, and identity you have carried for years.

So instead of asking yourself why you do not feel the way you thought you would, what happens if you get curious about the way you actually feel?

That answer might be a lot more complicated.

It might also be a lot more useful.
