Change

When you are young, say 20 something, life as you're living it, seems permanent. Things will always be as they are now, or maybe one big change and then you'll settle in to the path your life was meant to take.

Doesn't really work this way.

As time goes by, everything changes....locations, people, jobs , attitudes and love. It suprises you at first. It seems, each time, like a major turning point....sometimes sliding your life into the groove of your expections, and other times dragging you kicking and screaming away from the visions you've carried, counted on, defined yourself by.

Only after you've survived both several times each does it begin to dawn on you that, even as you are living through these alterations, even as you are adjusting, basking in the glory, grasping at straws, blossoming to your potential or dying on the vine....you've begun to realize that this too will pass. Change will come again, sometimes sooner rather than later. Sometimes joyous. Sometimes painfull. Sometimes by design. Sometimes by pure accident. Almost always challenging,
regardless.

The only thing constant in life.....is change. And the only way to get passed it, is through it.
