Walk out of a dark movie into sunlight and you’re blind for a second. Big changes take a moment to see clearly.

Eyes need time after a change in light, and judgment needs the same patience. Just after something big shifts, a move, a breakup, a new school, everything looks worse and blurrier than it will in a fortnight, because you are reading new conditions with your old settings still loaded. That early confusion is adjustment, not evidence that the change was a mistake.

If something in your life has just turned over, give it a few weeks before you deliver any verdict. Notice how you feel without concluding anything from it yet. Decide once your eyes have caught up.
