Change [cheynj] n.
to make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of (something) different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone
Today I have been looking back at my life and all of the things I have done and haven't done, for one reason or another. I recently made some decisions that will change the course of my life and it's way fun and way scary. I decided to definitely go to Hair School after I graduate, I am staying for the Summer Session of school and Graduate in July!!! AND I am going to make a trek to New Zealand and Australia next January with a dear friend of mine! These decisions did NOT come easy...
You see, Change and I have this Love/Hate relationship.
"Hate" side of the Story:
When change comes knocking at my door I want to hide in my back room and yell "No One is here... and won't be for a long time!" Change makes things different! Sometimes it ends up being a LOT different than I had EVER anticipated.
Sometimes Change doesn't even knock and simply walks in like he owns the place! What if I had just taken a shower?? That would be way awkward. He can be so rude sometimes. And (speaking metaphorically of course) sometimes I had just taken a shower and was preeetty vulnerable.
"Love" side of the Story:
Change. The best thing that has ever happened to me! We met one day and I thought he was a little edgy, but he ended up being really fun and made my life so much more happy. I kind of hated it when he took things away from me, but every time I end up bringing him some warm, gooey chocolate chip cookies in pure gratitude!
So.. Moral of the two stories--- When change comes "knocking" on your door of comfort, let him in. Maybe he'll make things better for you. Because you just never know. And let's be honest, that's why a lot of us don't want to change, because sometimes you just got out of the shower! haha! But just take a chance, it can't hurt... too bad.
When New Zealand gets closer, talk to us. Christians parents live there 6 months of the year...they might have some great advice for you.
ReplyDeleteI love change...sounds like you have made the most of all your change, you have so much to look forward to.
Love you Kira!
