I guess the real point I'm getting at is just going through changes, and finding the real meaning of what they all are. To be different then i was, and who i am going to be in the future, cause the way i see it, each day- even the simplest things, makes me a different person then i was the day before, heck, even the hour before. Change is a constant. My life is like a complete metamorphosis. But unlike butterflies, i wont get to see my end result, the beautiful me in the end. But that very statement, gives me the desire to make my self the most 'butterfly' that i can possibly be. Even though id have to spend most of my life, in an old ugly, cocoon, id be working on beauty, a project that takes nothing but time. Its confusing to me, because i feel like i am contradicting myself, I actually HATE change, at least that's what i used to think, i couldn't deal with my whole world just being turned upside down, but perhaps that's part of growth, of submerging yourself into a whole new world, but only if you accept it. Accept the changes, the good things and the bad things, of your enviorment.I read somewhere that change really impacts the human mind, to those who are fearful of change it is THREATENING, because that means that things may get worse. For those who are HOPEFUL, it means that things may get better, and for the CONFIDENT it is inspiring, because the challenge exsists to make things better. Maybe that's the hardest part, accepting what is really an inevitable part of life. You cant avoid change, for its always there. But perhaps change your mindset about change itself, and life would run smoother for you, that's something i can definitely agree with!!

I think pictures are so beautiful, its proof of change. Looking at a picture from an infant to a two year old, its miraculous, and beautiful, to count the sucesses, and see just how much that child has grown.

But whats shocking is when your see how much you've changed in just 6 months, the picture floods your head with memories, and reminds you of the you that you once were. And while you may be embarrassed by it, i seem to find the beauty of acceptance, and in the inner peace that changes bring.

Even thinking about 2 months ago, how i would never expected things that have happened, i know the way that i have handled all those things, makes me so much mature.

Its really just mind-blowing to thing of yourself, and all the ways that you are growing, its also nice to see the person that you want to be. And what you must to do get there.


"Learn to embrace change and you'll realize that life is in constant motion. And every change happens for a reason. When you see boundaries as opportunities, the world becomes a limitless place, and your life because a journey of change that always finds its way."
