Change

They say the only guarantee in life is Change. Often times, we may not be ready for it and we are thrust into the whirlwind of life and given no tools (or what it seems to be no tools) to adjust to the change life has decided to present to us. Other times, we create the change for ourselves in hopes to better our situation. Either way, it is never easy. It will send you up, down, make you feel inside out or completely introverted to figure out how, why, how long and what to do next. Fortunately for me (or unfortunately according to some people), I grew up in an environment where things were always changing and I had to learn to adapt fast. Different countries, different cultures, different languages, different male (dad) figures, etc. I learned very early that nothing stays the same and it is always best to not get too attached since things are guaranteed to change. I firmly believe change builds character, it helps the soul grow, it provides for an interesting journey and often times teaches us lessons about ourselves that a stagnant life would not be able to. So why be afraid of change if nothing stays the same anyways?
