Are you excited for change, or are you afraid of not recognising who you might become?

To be loved is to be changed.

Every person you have loved, everyone you've met, make up the person you are today. They shaped you, nurtured you, therefore changes you from who you were before. 

It's most obvious after a relationship comes to an end, the way you experience all types of emotions at once: heart break, betrayal, anger, guilt, remorse, grief and even liberation. Going through intense emotions force you to reconsider every thing you thought you knew, by taking away the familiarity you were now encouraged to redefine your life. Changes not only happened when things go wrong, you feel inspired to rewrite your story when you feel happiness and joy, when you learn new things and gained new insights.

The only constant is change. Most of us are grown to be afraid of change, the idea of giving up comfort and sacrificing routine, to adapt and learn a new lifestyle only for a little spark of a chance for things to change for the better, doesn't seem like a good deal. So we choose to stay in the past, feeling stuck in a lifestyle that no longer benefits us, worrying about what could go wrong if we took the leap, ignoring the fact that it will bring us closer to who we want to become.

Change cannot be measured, one day you find yourself standing a little taller because that one friend who are confident in their body taught you to love your own, or the lesson you learned from the relationship you go into blindly. You never go into the relationship hoping to be changed, you do it because it seemed right, it's what you needed at the time, changes come along as the result of love and courage, it's the reward you get for stepping out of your bubble. To change is to stand face to face with what is wrong, and decide you will no longer follow blindly with what seems to be safe, let go of your routine to start igniting the possibilities of change.
