At one point or another, everyone experiences change. From going to college, to meeting someone new or leaving one of your closest friends, change happens. It will occur all throughout your life in different shapes and sizes. There is no way of knowing when the next change will happen or what it will be. It can be an extremely unsettling time because there is no way of knowing what will come.
Change is a six-letter word that can make you feel thousands of different emotions. Merriam Webster's definition of change is “to become something different; to make (someone or something) different; to become something else”. Change is more than something physically becoming different, it is a feeling.
There is a wide variety of emotions that come along with any change. Your stomach may clench up with worry and anxiety. There are moments when you do not know what will happen and your brain cannot stop running different scenarios. Your brain works overtime to work through all the changes and tries to think of all the possibilities.
The emotions associated with change can also be positive and bring pleasure or excitement. Something new is about to happen and there is no way of knowing what will come. There is a thrill of the unknown and the urge to experience new adventures. Things can be changing for the better and something new and more exciting may be coming.
No matter the size, it can be difficult to deal with change. If you are struggling, turn to your family and friends for help and advice. Chances are they have gone through similar feelings or experiences. Everyone has their own way of coping, and it is unique for every individual. Other people's advice may help you through your rough time. Everyone has experienced change, and it will happen more than one time in your life.

It may not be clear now, but change may be pushing you in the right direction. Change can help you grow as a person and can help you adapt to be more flexible with whatever life may throw at you. It can be difficult to see this when the change is happening, but it is important to this remember this.
Change can be difficult for anyone, and we all handle it differently. It is crucial to remember to stay positive and try to think of the good. Change can be a positive or negative shift, but it will all work out in the end, it just takes time. It may be difficult to see, but the change could be for the better.
