I have never been one to change something about my life. Yet the old saying goes, "The only constant in life is change." Why though? why can't things that are good enough stay that way? Why do we have to lose something so great? Even if we get something better in return, we still look back on the past because...well, it was good.
Some changes i like. LIke, new nieces and nephews and friends. Some changes...I don't know how i feel about. Friends getting married, for example. Yes, i'm happy you all found your one true love. I just worry the flames are gonna die sooner than you think. And then you'll get into an argument and someone will say something that kills the relationship.
There's just so much change in my life right now, I almost can't stand it. Friends are getting married right, left, and center, making me feel like I have to do it too. I'm getting ready to move back to school and I have new roommates again. And I'm nervous. Nervous that a repeat of last year is gonna happen again. Where I'll get so close...and then have it all ripped away from me again. I don't want that to happen. but, once bitten, twice shy. And i know change is a good thing sometimes. Emphasise on the some of sometimes.
Then again, you're looking (metaphorically, of course) at the girl who didn't want to get her bangs cut in the first place. And now I don't want to change them to anything else.
I just don't understand why people want to change something when it's already so good. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
I guess, in life, we NEED change. We are constantly striving for what is bad to become good, and what is good to become better. Ultimately for what is better to become best. I think we should have a healthy balance of fear about change, it keeps us cautious. But there should also be a good portion of faith, that God knows what challenges we're going through, and what changes we need.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I could use some change. My pockets are empty and a little bit of jingle in it would be very appreciated. (mainly in quarters) :)
