adapt

something new is coming right round the corner.

change comes---

and whether you like it or not

you either “sink or swim”

you either find a way to walk in rome

amongst those romans

or you drift beneath their

feet.

 

the trick is to adapt to your surroundings,

whatever they might be

&

to make use of everything at your fingertips

not forgetting who you were before you came

to this new place

but not wallowing in denial

thinking that the you before

is the best

you

and there is no way in hell that you need to improve on

anything.

 

by adapting

and making our new surroundings part of

ourselves

we grow & progress

becoming stronger individuals

who cannot simply be

swept underneath the feet of the other romans.

 

instead, we command a new light amongst them

a hybrid of something new brought to the forefront

within our own acknowledged new contexts

as well as something which we ourselves

have added to what we now dwell in---

a synergy of self-discovery,

as well as the discovery of our self

by those outside us---

who are equally enriched by our

presence.
