Things Changing (And So Do We)
Change isn't Always Bad
The truth is change really sucks. I don’t like change and I never really will, but at the same time the way something starts isn’t always the way it ends. You can meet someone, have an amazing, incredible relationship, and one day they decide to break up with you. Change occurs.
For example, you go from being the happiest you’ve ever felt in your life and all of a sudden everything you once had just is gone. You have a best friend, love of your life by your side, friends, family, and all of a sudden everyone starts to distance themselves from you or people leave your side. This is a kind of change that no one ever wants to undergo, but it’s possible and can unfortunately happen.
Change can start off being horrible, you hate it, never even wish it on your worst enemy, but from change comes lessons, and from lessons comes a better life and more happiness.
For today’s article, we’re going to briefly discuss… you guessed it: change. More specifically people changing and things in our lives changing.
Things Change
Things in life change constantly. It can be Elon Musk changing Twitter with an ‘X’ symbol (which is extremally weird), your favorite stock going down tremendously or company going bankrupt, Dave’s Killer Bread being discontinued in your local grocery store, or the job you work at becoming more of an hassle than it ever has been. It happens. Change happens. A lot.
With things changing, we have to remember that it’s natural for things to become different, have an time of social agony. In 90% or more of cases, in my opinion, it eventually will loop back into harmony with time. It’s usually not always final, depending on whatever change occurs.
I think one of the most important takeaways from different parts of life is learning how to deal with life going in circles and being able to learn how handle it, but then again it’s not always possible. It all really depends. I can say that as much as change can sometimes be really be sucky and not fun, it will get better one day. Not by itself, but it can and will if you want it to.
I would list ways of how to deal with change and life, but the truth is, there really is no right or wrong way, it depends on perception and how you’re able to overcome it within your own mind. I’m still figuring it out too day by day as a new part of my life surfaces this month, ✨college✨.
I can say that something I’ve learned is that part of life is finding our way around and making a plan in the midst of when something happens. Sometimes, change comes when we least expect it and we just to learn how to cope or deal with whatever it is going on.
Moving into a new home, getting a new pet for your family, and losing 20 lbs are all great changes in life, but it all comes down to getting used to it and feeling comfortable with it. Again, things changing or life moving too fast can be rough to handle in the moment, but I promise you’re able to punch through it and come out stronger.
As Ms. Kelly Clarkson once said, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”
People Changing, You’re Changing
We change as people constantly throughout our lives. It’s a way of life. As we get older, we become different. There are many cases in our lives where we drift away from others because our lives and personalities are constantly changing.
If you’ve ever been in more than one relationship, there’s chances that a breakup could’ve been apparent in a past relationship because you and the other person became different people. You probably grew into different people. And, as hard as it can be to let someone go because either they’ve become a new person or you have, that’s okay.
There’s a quote I live by that isn’t exactly “Things happen for a reason.” It’s similar to that but instead it’s “This happened because it was supposed to.” Not even that there’s a reason for it; it just happened because simply it happened.
People change. You change. A life-long friend is able to become a distant stranger. A distant-stranger becomes a life-long friend or spouse. Stuff like that just sometimes happens. To me, it’s unexplainable how certain people meet others. God? Fate? Luck? Bad luck? I can’t say I have any idea. Some come and go. Some others stay forever and love you till the end. Others change, and go their separate ways.
Between middle school and high school I lost almost my whole friend group. From high school to the start of college, I lost everyone in the rest of that friend group because they were different people then, and so was I. In addiiton, a lot of other friend groups in high school that were with people who were very different from me. Different ideas, values, beliefs, goals, etc. So, from this, most of us went our separate ways. 1 gent for me stuck around, and he knows who he is. King.
Anyways, as hard as it can be, try not to be upset about the past and people who aren’t around anymore. The best thing to do is wish them the best on their journey or life (if you really don’t want to be too mean) and be excited for those who you’ll meet in the future. Because trust me, for most of us, our lives are just getting started and there’s so many more people to meet and new opportunities to come.
As always, thanks for stopping by.
