Sometimes something that once felt unfamiliar
just becomes normal.
Not all at once.
There’s no clear moment where it changes.
No point where we stop and notice
that it feels different now.
It just… happens gradually.
What once stood out
starts to blend in.
What we used to think about
becomes something we don’t question as much anymore.
And over time, it stops feeling new.
Not because anything about it changed,
but because we got used to it.
So used to it that it’s hard to remember
what it felt like before.
There’s no clear before and after.
Just a slow shift
that’s easy to miss while it’s happening.
Until one day, we notice it.
Not because anything is different,
but because it’s been familiar for a while.
Even if we don’t know
when that happened.
