And It Goes On

One of the hardest things about getting older is all of the changes that life brings. I don't want to graduate, I don't want to move to another continent, I don't want my friends to move to different states, I don't want my parents to retire and move to Montana. But that's the way it is. And like it or not I have to like it. Or at least deal with it. Change is hard. But I know that with change comes growth. I know that a caterpillar will never reach its full potential if it remains the same. And I know that any time I've faced a major change in my life, it's always worked out for the best. Coming to college was hard. Experiencing a breakup freshman year was hard. Getting sick junior year was hard. Making life changing decisions is hard. And yet, every single one of those events has impacted my life in a spectacular way. I've become more confident in who I am, I've created friendships that will last a lifetime, and I've seen just how far I can be pushed and how much I can take and still come out on top. Change is hard, yes, but I'm realizing that stagnation is even harder.
