Change Is Good--Francesca

As seasons change, time flies by, and a new day begins; in life we are all susceptible to change. Through many situations in life, we can all relate that what we go through is not always going to be forever. A change can be different for a lot of people, whether it’s shown physically, mentally, or both. It could also be a situational scenario. The meaning of change is to be able to make or become different. The New Year is a brand new start, this could be a major step or a period of time to gain and progress oneself. Life can be a whole challenge; the past can affect the present and the future, like a domino effect. From being a single cell in a mother’s womb, a little kid, to growing as a young adult and becoming old is an evolution of life. Do you ever wonder the times or have vivid images of your childhood? I still do, once in a while and I look back and notice I have developed over the years. A flashback remembering drinking from a small baby blue bottle was the sweetest and warm cherishing moments. Getting to touch and feel certain objects for the first times or hearing soft and loud noises through our ears. We can all agree to the fact that throughout our lives we adjust to things we are usually comfortable with because it is natural to our conscience. Over time as years come and go we are prone to transform and recognize ourselves in every little ways. An example of this is when I moved to the United States when I was 11 years old and it was difficult for me to speak English. I’ve overcome my fears and told myself that if one self is willing to give in to change to turn something negative to a positive, we find a part of who we are.  Having a healthy mindset is key to being successful.  As we start the year of 2018, we should set small or big goals that we can achieve and strive to be a better person. Part of growing up is having the courage and willing to move on to the next chapter in their life. Whether it’s forgiving someone or adjusting, doing this you are creating something new that can trick your brain into deeply analyzing problems. Without modification and having an open mind there will be no understanding. We also have to know that it is okay to mess up once in a while because that is how we grow and learn from our real mistakes. There should not be a doubt to change since there could be room for more improvements right?  Without change there will be nothing much to offer in the world, we would live a pretty boring life if you think about it. One way you can start is letting go of that barrier and ask yourself, what is change to you?
