Adapt

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.
