I am typically not the one who enjoys a change. I like things to stay the same. Change makes me anxious. But I am going to admit I have changed a lot as a person over the past few months and that is okay.
I have had a lot of people look at me and say "you have changed" and sometimes I don't know if they mean it in a good way or a bad way but, that does not really matter. Some people look at me and do not even recognize me. They are not used to the person I have became. I feel as though I have changed for the better. I have grown up more, I don't care what people think anymore, I am more open about my beliefs, and I don't let people run over me anymore. I go out more and hangout with my friends more. I am way more outgoing and I have broken out of my shell that I was stuck in for so long. I am more care free.
I have been through a lot in the past (almost) year. I moved away to school, then I came back. I started back school at a new university. I moved out on my own. I found out I was cheated on. I got my heart broken. I had to let go of the love of my life. All of these things can make a person change and, this is definitely true for me.
I am so grateful for my change however. I feel so much better as a person. And now I am not as scared of change. I know I can handle change now and that all change is not bad.I don't crave stability as much as I used to. I realize now that life is always changing and you just have to roll with it.
Through every thing I have grown and changed into a stronger and healthier person. I have a more positive outlook on life as well.
So, yes I have changed and that is okay. No I am not the same person as I used to be but, I still have the same morals. A lot of people tend to think that I just like to party now and go out but, I really don't. Yes I have more fun now but, I still have a good head on my shoulders and I still have my priorities straight.
Going through a lot of tough times will make you change as a person. But through it all you will come out being a better person I believe.
