Why We Need To Accept Change

If you opened this thinking this was some sort of politically aimed article, let me stop you now. This has no hidden meaning or hidden agenda. This is simply a statement on why we have to get used to the concept of change. It's happening and it's about time we not only get used to it but that we start accepting it for what it is at face value.

When things are good and great we wish we could freeze time. We desire more than anything to pause in that moment. It is so great and almost perfect that we don't want to miss out on it. We don't welcome change. We push it out and try to ignore the whole idea it. We don't have the mindset that there could quite possibly be something better around the corner.

Change doesn't always directly correlate with negativity or destruction. Change just means that things will be different, they will not stay the same. We HAVE to change. Without change we wouldn't be anywhere near where we are as a nation. I have no intention of being redundant or cliche but we wouldn't have cellphones, computers, TV's, cars, A/C, etc. Most importantly the opportunities that we have would be completely out of the question. If you brought up a college education people would laugh in your face. My job as a writer wouldn't be nearly as incredible. I would only be able to reach who I knew in my direct circle of people and that would only be if they could read. I don't mean to flashback that far but I want you to grasp the idea that the world is changing and we need to change with it. I also want you to have faith in the fact that change is good.

There is certainly a part of you that is already prepared for these ideas.When things go wrong, go awry or aren't what you expect you want them to be different. You want and sometimes even beg for change. This right here is your hope. Part of you is already ready change. For most of us it is just a matter of switching and some slight convincing of our brain to feel the same way when things are good. Good things have full capability of changing into bigger and better things.

In short, it is essential in this time and age to be open to change. Being shut off from this concept can so greatly hinder us. As I stated before there are so many incredible opportunities and chances to grow if we accept change. All I'm saying is it wouldn't hurt is to step out of our comfort zone every once in a while. If we open up our eyes just a tad more the world might show us somethings we never thought possible and who wouldn't want that?

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.

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.
