Change. It's inevitable. No matter what we as humans do to avoid it, we cannot stall it. Change can be an opportunity. It can be for the better, whether it may be moving on from past experiences or getting a fresh start. However, change can also be malicious. The one person you loved the most could take a turn for the worst, and become someone you don't even recognize anymore and can't stand to face; they're now a complete and utter stranger. Change can be sudden, but it can also creep up on you slowly until one day you're looking around, taking it all in, and just thinking to yourself, "When did this happen? How did it come to this?"

It's a bittersweet thing- change has many faces and various sides. Your actions determine how you change, and however that may be, you can become the villain or the hero. For some, it can be that gust of cool air they've always so desperately needed, but it can also be the most painful thing they have to witness. Change is not static; it is constant, always happening, always switching sides, and always turning the tables. You can look at it as an opportunity to grow and prosper, but you can also look at it with a grudge, cursing it for taking away what was so graciously yours. It can be the light, or it can be the darkness, but remember: you can't have the good without the bad as well.
