Change

Change... What makes change so difficult. Sure, some people want to move here or there, some people want a new job, and some people just don't want to deal with the day to day bullshit that occurs in their life.

I, myself, like every other person in the world is dealing with change. I am at a school that I feel is doing nothing for me, many of my friends are gone, my girlfriend no longer lives a block away, and I am ready to start living out my dreams. As much change as I want to happen in my life, I seem to be fighting a lot of it. What are we so scared of?

In 2008 we were supposed to "Believe in change" but at what point are we supposed to believe in it? This may be a political slogan but I try to work it into my day to day life. Props to you Obama, you have done one positive thing for me. Back to change... We all want it, but is it really what we need?

Moving to a beach or a big city seems to be the dreams of half our population. What will we do when we get there? Sure, we have a change of scenery, but is it really what works? To me, far too many people try to escape the small problems of their own lives by making change. Change that will lead you to another problem. I was once told that if you were sitting around a table full of people and everyone laid their problems infront of them, most of the time you will keep the problems you have.

You would think that I am totally against change. However, I believe there is constructive change and dreamers change. Changing a drug abusing lifestyle is a wonderful thing, but wanting to move to a tropical island to change your shitty attitude isnt. I am lost in this blog... it made sense when I started...

I guess I just find it mind boggling how much we fight change on a daily basis, but then how much we hope for it at the end of the day. Listen to your heart the newt time you think about change. Your brain can adapt quickly, but your heart may take a while.
