My world is smaller, slower, quieter. I do everything I need to do, eventually. I get to where I need to be, eventually. I accomplish what I need to accomplish, eventually. I have accepted that I am a Tortoise. Strange as it may seem, I am happy and content being a Tortoise. The difficulty lies with the Hares in my world, who are impatient, or frustrated, or unable to understand my new Tortoise self. Outwardly, yes I am different than I used to be as a Hare, but inwardly I am still me.
