WO: Weekly Obsessions

I was watching a Bachelor in Paradise wedding and thinking to myself: “What in the actual f—?”

Not because the two villains from their seasons found love with each other.

Not because the reality of reality TV is these people DM each other away from cameras (and Stagecoach was apparently LIT).

And certainly not because I spent last night speed dating (for the story, duh) and walked away with new female friends but no romantic prospects.

I thought WTF because a year ago, the two newlyweds had just met and that means that truly anything can happen in just 365 days.

It’s weirdly beautiful how much can change in a year’s time.

Chris Harrison or not, life has its fair share of drama, its ups and downs. Where you are today isn’t permanent — even if you want it to be. We are constantly changing (for better or worse) and even the most deeply rooted habits or feelings can dissolve or evolve over time.

The important thing, I think, is to do your best with each day you have. Notice the impermanence without judgment. If you feel stuck, remember the only constant is change.

All this philosophizing is brought to you partly by Paradise and partly by the hurricane headed toward my home state. Talk about finding love in a hopeless place, amirite?
