they're inevitable. Things change all the time. We can go with the flow and learn and grow from the changes or we can become paralyzed with fear and hope that change never happens. Just because things are changing doesn't mean that it's bad...but it doesn't mean it's good either. Sometimes it's about your perspective. Some folk see growing older (as your body does and changes all the time in doing so) as a bad thing...others embrace it. Change happens...and starts at a young age. Your diapers get changed...you change grades in school...you change from being a passenger to driving the car...you change friends...you change hairstyles...you change boyfriends or girlfriends..sometimes as often as you change classes in high school.
When you're younger, you don't fear change as much...it's happening to everyone you know, all around you. As you get older you suddenly realize that there are patterns to your life and that even the slightest changes to those patterns have unique consequences. Any little change can upset the balance. We have to learn to not let change paralyze us with fear. As adults we have to be more adaptive to change and what it can bring. We have to see through our own fear and realize that every day we all change in ways that aren't even seen...so just because we see this change coming doesn't mean its bad.
Change isn't easy...nothing in life is. Change can be hard. Change can get up in your face and yell and scream...change can just walk away without explanation...change can be slower and slowly drift out of your life...like watching the tide go out and not knowing where it's gone. Change can come and go in all of these ways and more...change can drive you to keep going and make you stronger or change can paralyze you with fear...I chose to let change make me stronger...no matter what the struggle. I also chose to believe that change heavy to carry around...which is why nobody does for long!
