Change

In the natural progression of the world, change is inevitible. Nothing stays the same, the entirity of everything is transient in nature whether natual or manmade aspects. And with change comes renewal. Everybody likes new things: new shoes, new haircuts and so change should be a completely positive thing- or at least provide the capactiy for finding some positivity within it. I don't like change though. If things are good now, then change just gets in the way and threatens to create a new situation that may not be as good. Of course, there's always the chance that it will be better but sometimes it seems like too big a risk to bother chancing- not that there's a choice really.
 Maybe it's not the change that's so daunting and so disliked at times, but rather the necessary adaptation that goes hand in hand with it. The mind and outlook need to move in time with the change for a natural and happy adaptation, otherwise the change can loose all capability of providing a positive and just become an obstacle, a huge rock, right slap-bang in the middle of the happily flowing stream that causes ripples and waves and hurts if it's crashed into.
Maybe it all comes down to acceptance. Thick creams in designer jars aren't going to stop the visible effects of the aging process and magically make the lines around your eyes disappear. They came due to change, the natural process that turns perfectly smooth and pure skined faces into lined and experienced maps, recording the progression of change through time.
People come and go, feelings change so that being in a certain place at a certain time with certain people could be the most perfect thing in the world at one stage and at another, completely the wrong situation. And when that situation is no longer right, it must be remedied. It's unfortunate that change in feelings is an individual thing. Not yet to my knowledge has a method been discovered to syncronise peoples emotions and feelings so that everyone welcomes the change together. It's unfortunate, but then maybe when natural outlooks do alter concurrently, it makes that change all the more beautiful.
Life brings uncontrollable changes all the time and the moral of the story really is that at times, we have very little power to stop them or alter their course. That brings us back to accceptance and the adoptation of a strong spirit in adapting to and embracing any goodness the change brings and if the change seems awful and painful and bleak, then finding every ounce of wonderfulness from the past situations and nudging it forward.
 The most comforting thought in relation to this unpreventable change is that every new moment has the potential to be fabulous. I think that's pretty exciting*
