Sometimes We Need to Go With the Change

Life is full of changes every day. Some are good and some are bad. We don't always see which it is right away but in the end it is clearer. Most people I know don't like change or are afraid of it. I feel that I tend to fall with them on this topic. We like our comfort zone because well, it's comfortable for us. It's what we know and have been living by. The way I see it is when there is huge change in our lives, it's a way of life creating a new chapter. And just like books, sometimes they are meant to be reread over and over. In life we like telling stories about our adventures and taking walks down memory lane. But on the other hand, some books may be historical and tell what has happened good or bad but aren't meant to reread over and over. They can teach us things but we can't live in these, just like we can't live in the past. We can only live in the present. We write and create new stories to go down in our memories and yes that includes new chapters as well. Something I have recently learned to a farther extend is that people come in and out of our lives for a reason. Some stay, and some don't, but that is a part of life. People change and sometimes the ones we used to be very close with we grow apart from. It doesn't mean that we love them any less or didn't have good times with them, but maybe instead it means that our time together is over. It can be very sad but in certain situations it can be good when certain people leave our lives. They say that holding on can be worse than letting go and in some cases this is very true. If someone starts to hurt us and tear us down, we need to step away even if it's not what we want it may be what we need. Someone once told me that we meet so many people between the ages 15 and 25 and so many of these people don't stay in our lives and they are not meant to. Most times the people we meet teach us things that we can utilize in our lives. But the way I see it, we meet new people until the day we die. And if you think about it, there are people that we are close with now that we weren't before and it's a beautiful thing. It kind of plays on the saying "when one door closes, another opens." Just remember that even in the worse of storms, there's almost always a rainbow to follow. And in all of this, I'm not saying change is easy, because for most of us it isn't. But what I am saying is that it is a part of life and it is going to happen so we need to stop fighting it so much and go for the ride because who knows, maybe it could be the best change of your life.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
