Why Change Is A Beautiful Aspect Of Life

Change is a way of life that is ultimately inevitable. We change while we are in the womb, we change once we are born, we change as we grow, we are always changing. It is not until we look back on time that we realize what it is exactly that has changed. If you are like me, the idea of change makes you cringe and possibly cry. We spend plentiful amounts of time doing the same thing every day that when change occurs, we are blindsided. But the truth is, change is amazing.

Looking back now, I never realized how much change bothered me, until I started reminiscing about my childhood. Those were the days! No worries and care free. As I continued to remember the good times and how easy it was to be a kid, I began to resent the fact that I had grown up and was no longer living with my parents in my childhood home. Then I was confused. Why did I have to leave home and encounter so many trials and situations that would challenge me as an individual? I was so hung up on the fact that I had changed that I didn’t see what was currently changing in my life because of it. I started to become depressed and miss home more than usual. I wanted to go back in time and be mommy and daddy’s little girl. But, soon after, reality hit and I knew that was never going to happen. Never again was I going to live at home or even in my hometown for that matter. But once again, life is about changing. The beauty is in the fact that I had progressed in many areas of life, I was in college living the life that I had always imagined. The sooner I accepted it, the sooner I started to live again.

The beautiful part about change is that you can make it the experience you desire. You can change who you are to become the person you aspire to be. If you don’t like something about yourself, change it. It is all up to you.

Now, there are areas in our life that we do not choose to change. For example, you may have your heart broken by the person you believed you would marry one day, you may find out a piece of information that changes your entire view on a particular situation, or you may even become ill and have to change your way of life. But, there is beauty in change that we do not foresee in ourselves. I know everyone hates to hear that “everything happens for a reason”, but it is our reality. One thing leads to another and then bam, change. In order for a person to become who they are meant to be, change is involved because nobody stays at square one. Change is our way of growing, evolving our characters, and learning the capabilities that we hold within ourselves.

So you see, change is actually an amazing part of life, a way of life. Imagine if change didn’t exist, I definitely wouldn’t be writing this article seeing as to how I am a female. My proposal to you is to embrace change with every fiber of your being and enjoy life, because whether or not you take my advice, change will happen. Why not hop on the bandwagon now?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
