Change

As the title suggests, I find myself in a kind of no-space in my life at the moment, it is a time of waiting, I am currently saving up to go travelling, working a pretty mundane job and waiting for September to roll around so that I can jump on the plane and fly to New York (will ya cheer with me?). The waiting, as someone, somewhere, most wisely said is the hardest part and I must confess that it is a struggle. Coming back home from uni was a great eye opener for me in that I realised that I am not needed at home any more. My friends, although they always will be as such, have built their own lives. This is good, but on the whole they are not lives that I am part of, this is also good as surely clinging on to the past can only ever be a negative. The feeling that I have exhausted the options of home have somewhat overwhelmed me. University is an experience that can change you completely, and it becomes hard for those you've known before to accept that (and vica versa). In the end I suppose we could all do with realising that change is something that should be embraced, because change is vital for survival. In evolutionary terms it is what's kept us in existence as a species; in artistic terms it's what keeps forms fresh and exciting, in so many aspects of our lives we need, even depend upon, change if it's not there we get bored, and boredom is the first step towards many terrible things!

So, if anyone is following the plot I would say only this, change is good and we should always embrace it. In the end it is inevitable, and fighting what we cannot change will only make us unhappy, so enjoy it, and relax!
Be happy.
Thanks :)
