Change. We claim a need for it, yet find adversity as the process of change occurs. When the change has taken place, we are not satisfied and yearn for yet another change to fix the imperfections we find in it.
I find that to be sort of sad. That's not to say that I don't succumb to the same thinking, but I definitely don't like it.
I admit it: I hate change. I don't understand why things can't just be perfect for everyone, everywhere. Why can't people just accept life as it is? What happened to human race's ability to adapt? SERIOUSLY. It's like all of us are a bunch of dumb, indecisive complainers. Gosh, people can be such freaking buttheads. However, I do understand that change is part of life, that shifting our lives' priorities and perspectives can yield beautiful things.~
But sometimes, the process of change forces us to make sacrifices- sometimes causing immense pain. Change takes us out of our comfort zones and pressures us to modify something about ourselves, when we would much rather hold on to what is familiar.
For me, I have put a hold on buying video games in order to divide my money towards more clothes and saving up some cash for the upcoming Anaheim tour. Video games versus shopping? A tough choice for me, but hey, my more feminine side kicked in on that one after I bought three games in a matter of two weeks. xP
On another note, personal relationships have changed. I've slowly been realizing who matters to me, who doesn't matter at all, who I need to reconnect with, who I want to keep around, and who seriously need to have a talk with. However, I've also been making an effort to be sensitive to how others feel; now I have a faint idea of who loves me, who hates me, who makes time for me, who wants me around forever, and who has outgrown me as a friend. With this, the only thing left to do is take action. To make a change.
It's easy not to do anything. It's often more convenient sit and hope that things will fix themselves. But wouldn't it be better if we moved towards our goals, our ideals- even if it means getting hurt in the process?
