Change it's something we often times desire as humans. Some of us love simplicity and consistancy, others on the other hand need spontaneity and adventure. Even those, like myself, who prefer consistancy still secretly have a thirts for adventure and change. I love consistancy because I feel safe, by planning and organizing I feel a sense of control of myself and my life. When things don't go as planned, or if I come across an impediment I often times get frustrated because I feel as if my whole schedual has been altered. I fear change because I fear the unknow, I fear not having control of the outcomes and consequences. Countless people want to live in the moment and live life. It took me 16 years to realize that I don't always have to live life by the book.
I've discovered that some things are uncontrollable and inevitable whether we decided it or not. I believe that a cosmic power could possibly control how things turn out, yet I don't think anything is written in stone. I think we write our destinys but the outcome remains the same. ( I know I think in circles) As people we need to make mistakes and learn from them. We need to conquer and triumph life's struggles and challenges to make us stronger, and we also need to learn that sometimes it's okay to let go and take risks because it's a part of life. So I discovered this revelation by learning a lot about myself through other teens my age, and through their own stories.
I used to be frightened of change and letting people close to me, but now I'm accepting change and tearing the walls I had once created to protect myself of the unknown. I'm not saying it happened over night because it's still a working progress. I still have a long way to go, but each day it will only be easier for me...to live life, and accept that sometimes change can be good.
