Understanding The Concept Of Change

You cannot move forward in life without change, so stop giving it a negative connotation.

The plot of your story cannot continue without change. Courtney Pepperell said "you can't skip chapters, you have to read every line and meet every character. You won't enjoy all of it. Some chapters will make you cry for weeks.

You will read things you don't want to read. you will have moments when you don't want pages to end. But no matter what you have to keep going. Stories keep the world revolving, so live yours and don't miss out".

A humans life is like a storybook because your life has a plot, different settings, main and supporting characters, themes, and most of all change. But understanding the concept of change can be difficult, especially when it comes to people.

It is important to understand that change is inevitable. You can't move onto the next chapter without some sort of change, spiritually, mentally, or physically, otherwise, you are just turning pages without an end.

People changing is a normal thing, so stop treating others as if they aren't supposed to change. To get from chapter one to chapter eighty-nine of a book, you have to turn or change the page. If you don't change the page you will remain STUCK on the same page.

People change for themselves not others, but circumstances influence that change. The change occurs because their mind has been opened and they have released things that no longer benefits them.

When a person changes their mind or perspective on something it is not your job to change it back. Your mind is supposed to change; the evolving of the mind is inevitable. People are under no obligation to be the same person they were a year, month, day, or even five minutes ago.

You have the right to grow. You do not have to showcase the same behavior or attitude in order to still be you. You are whoever you want to be. Whether you were a cowboy yesterday and a mermaid today does not matter. You are allowed to try on different you's until you find the one that fits.

We as a society need to stop giving change a negative connotation. Change is what keeps that world running. Without change, America wouldn't be America, we wouldn't have the technology that we have today. Change is a very very good thing and I wouldn't be able to proudly look into the mirror without it. Yell it with me, CHANGE IS GOOD!!

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
