Blog 10: New Chapters and Change

It's impossible to avoid change. While we can all try to escape it, ultimately change occurs and we must adapt to it. Many of us have this ingrained anxiety that change is this terrible, awful thing because it is unknown. We, as humans, rather know what’s coming, what to expect. Change is a difficult thing to get used to. New chapters come and go and with that, people come and go too. And it’s painful to accept that certain things and people are transient. But just because it’s hard doesn’t mean it’s not worth doing. Whatever new chapter you're entering is more significant than the brief discomfort it causes. Sometimes we are simply victims of life. Change occurs whether or not we want it to, despite our best efforts to resist it. As we develop and evolve, our circumstances change, we grow, and the subsequent new chapter in life starts. As someone who naturally fears change, I tend to be inherently anxious when it comes to a new chapter in my life beginning.  But, now, I can recognize how beautiful new chapters can be and I’ve become so appreciative of the past ones. You see, every chapter of your life has helped to shape the person you are today. Everything you’ve gone though- the good, the bad, the ugly, has led you to where you are. And that it in itself is a wonderful thing. Everything will fall into place, enjoy this new chapter in it’s entirety. It’s a beautiful thing.
