Thoughts About Changing Things In Life

Change isn't always a bad thing, and you can do it at any time.

Thoughts About Changing Things In Life

I recently came across a post on Tumblr that outright stated that anyone can just change what they're doing in their life at any time. It was a very short post, but it really got me thinking that you can change something you don't like about your life right this very second, because why not?

Do you want to start a hobby that you've always wanted to do? Go for it. Do you have a toxic person or habit in your life? Get rid of it! It's your life and you can change it's path at any time.

I feel like people don't acknowledge this way of thinking that often because they're often caught up in their own lives trying to keep everything in order or keep everyone happy and they're just on repeat.

Of course I'm guilty of this too, but even so, it's just nice to know and have in the back of my mind that I can change anything in my life whenever I want.

I think you start to live your life to the fullest when you can think this way, and not only think it, but put those thoughts into action.

I know it's easier said then done, but it doesn't have to be anything big like dropping everything to hop on a plane somewhere. It can be as simple as rearranging the furniture in your house or stop putting salt on your food (or heck, start putting salt on your food).

You can live a completely different, and maybe even happier, life when you change it up a bit. It's something to do and it keeps life interesting.

You. Can. Do. Anything!

I think the Tumblr post that started all this thinking didn't actually start it, but just brought it to the forefront of my brain and made it more tangible.

I think I've always had these thoughts of changing, especially lately seeing my aunt and cousin start their own little side businesses doing the things they love. Not to mention, they each have a couple decades or so on me (let me follow that up with I love you and I'm sorry because I know you both read my articles). My point is that you can start at any stage in your life.

I'm 23 years old and I'm currently on a gap year of sorts just to relax, get my health under control, and figure out what's going on and what I want to do with the rest of my life. This is the most perfect time to start changing things. I can get rid of friends if I wanted to, I could go traveling, I could go back to school, I could start taking dance classes, I could move away, I could quit my job and start a new one, I could adopt a pet...and who says you couldn't do the same?

Like I said before, even if you don't do anything right now, or even later on, isn't it just a great feeling knowing that you can?

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
