"Nothing remains the same for long. Change. We don't like it, we fear it. But we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change or we get left behind. It hurts to grow. Anyone who tells you it doesn't is lying..."
Adapt or stay home by yourself. It is simple. Put some new shoes on and move forward. There are times when we need to let go of things that hold us back.
Today I sat and stared at my computer and fought off the tears. "I'm tired of being alone," I said to myself. I was on a real pitty-pot. "I just want to share my life with someone who looks at me 'that way' and sees me for who I really am."
Then tonight I went out with some friends to a haunted house. There were two boys there and one of them was pretty cute, I'm not going to lie to you. He not only thought I was younger, but I caught him looking at me a few times. It was nice to have someone look at me like that. I don't actually remember the last time I saw a guy look at me like that or show interest to have a conversation with me.
I was starting to think that there were things I needed to change about myself, and there are some (I work too much for example). But there are also guys out there who like me for who I am, how I am. Because the one person in the world I wanted to have see me for how beautiful I really am doesn't, doesn't mean I am any less.
Change is good and it hurts like a mother sometimes, but it's ok. If we were never pulled from our circle of comfort, we would never become the people God needs us to be. How that boy does or doesn't see me doesn't matter and that is something I have had to change. But how God sees me is everything, and as I learn to put my focus there I will change to be a better person than any human could have ever made me.
"But here's the truth: Sometimes, the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh sometimes, change is good. Sometimes change is everything."

When we change something it's a part of learning, and mostly deals with our feelings at the moment. I think our lives are like sponges. We move along at a quick pace, while absorbing everything we need to learn along the way. If we ever get to a point where we feel we need to change at something. Maybe it's a time in our lives where we feel tired, worried, upset, and need to learn how to overcome that obsticle. I think in order to change at something, we need to become more confident. If we feel better about ourselves today than yesterday, that can make a huge difference. I think by learning how to deal, and overcome our problems in life is the most important thing. Everything we face everyday, just makes us stronger in the end!
