i wanna talk about change, all kinds. i've just been thinking lately, about a lot of things actually, about how when we look back at our lives and we see how so much has changed, not just all around us, but within ourselves most especially.
i know that i've changed dramatically, as a person, as a being, as a woman. when i was very young, my view of the world was endless. the things i didn't know about, i created in my mind to be what they should be. looking back, sometimes i feel that i set myself up for a huge disappointment, but lately i realize that that's how it should be. the reason that "adulthood" has become this stereotype of anxiety is because people have just decided to agree with it. they haven't made the choice to create what it should be.
in school, when i learned about politics and environmentalism, there was one phrase that was repeated over and over and over again. "one person can make a difference." its true. if everyone believed they could make a difference, then we'd all be working together towards common goals. i honestly believe that people have the common purpose to be happy. its the choices we make towards those endeavors that take us down different paths, right or wrong.
the other side of this is the fact that despite all this "change", if you really look closely, you might even find that nothing has changed at all, at the same time. i read a blog recently that stated that - everything changes and nothing changes. its almost true. but it got me thinking. everything changes in relation to the things that dont change and vice versa. its all in what we decide to change and what we decide needs to stay the same.
so, what do you want to change? what do you want to stay the same? let me know in the comments.
