Here is what I can genuinely say about ongoing newness. Frequently, it sucks at the beginning. It is generally uncomfortable until you have learned enough to be comfortable. In the same way that it sucks, it is also normal. The normality is in the discomfort. I am referring to the jacket that you decide to put on. You want to take it off, but you don´t. That push and pull.

I think there is a weird assumption held by many that somehow we get to escape this discomfort with time. I don´t think the rawness gets easier. I think the understanding of the process, the knowledge of what is to come is what gets easier.
