To Change or Not to Change

Have you ever wondered why things go the way they do? It seems that change is all there is in this world and sometimes I can't help questioning why things just can't go on as they were before. Change is something that happen whether we want it to or not, and as one poem I read said "When the wind of change come calling, you just have to do its bidding", and it's really true. Change is a requisite in order for a person to grow and become more mature. I know this is true, and even I crave for change especially in my life so that I can be happy and feel more fulfilled. I long for a major change but still I hesitate. I feel hesitant and afraid because of what that change might bring for me, whether happiness or disappointment, no one really knows. And I know that it is a risk I must take sooner or later in order for me to grow and be all that I can be.

However, there are always two sides to the coin and sometimes I just can't help questioning why everytime I make a change, some things that I have grown comfortable with and the people I have come to love just changed all of a sudden. In my pursuit of change certain things have to be sacrificed and sometimes this is something that frustrates me and gives me so much pain, having to choose between the two-edged sword of change and familiarity.

There are times when I can't help but wonder, maybe I was born in the wrong place at the wrong time, maybe all I am and what I will be is not here and now but in another world and another time. But since I am here I just have to do the best can in order to cope and deal with the things that fate, if there is such a thing, hands down to me. Deal with them and use them to my advantage in order to find the life that I want and the life that I need in order for me to find out who I am in a world fraught with change
