We're not always going to be... who we once were. If you're not changing as you get older, then you are really missing out on life. Change is necessary for growth, otherwise you will become complacent and never truly get the opportunity to see all the world has to offer.
When I was younger, I hated change. I wanted to stay in the same house, go to the same school, keep the same friends, have my family around all the time... etc. I didn't want anything to change. I was happy with things just the way they were. However, as my parents and those around me grew... change occurred. We moved into a bigger home in a different neighborhood.. my sister got married and moved to VA, my brothers went off to college... my parents STARTED college... all as I was going through my teenage years. So many things were different, and I can't honestly say I liked all of it. Although I didn't LIKE it, I can now look back and realize it was necessary.
On one hand I understand change can be good... but on the other hand, is there a such thing as too much change? or is there an appropriate time for change? do you just suck it up and take change as it comes... or is it supposed to be planned and orchestrated?
I had a thought... but lost it.
All I keep thinking is.. I've gone through so much... experienced so much change... just to sit here and think.. you know what? I have come full circle back to the person I originally was in the first place. It just took a lot of change to realize who I was in the beginning... and that I am in essence the same person today. I am okay with her... me... and no matter what changes around me... I am still the same. I can spare change... because it will never really change who I am to begin with; the complete opposite of my opening statement in this blog :)
