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!!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
