There’s an excitement in Change. For some, it’s a good excitement, some it’s a bad. Some don’t know what kind of excitement it is, or even if they can call it excitement at all.
I’ve blogged before about how much I enjoy change. I think I’d go crazy without it. I love being able to look forward to something new, while also allowing the new to remind me of the past.
As I’ve moved to a new part of town, it’s weird to think about how big of a deal it is where you sleep at night. For me, my life is changing in multiple ways, even outside of just the location I’m living, but even when your life outside of it doesn’t change much, by sleeping in a different place at night, you cause a lot of things around you to change also. Things that you didn’t even realize were there are all of a sudden coming up in your life.
There is pain in change. And no matter how much I enjoy it and the adventure of it, I don’t think I’ll ever enjoy the pain and sadness of leaving the people you were with before the change. Sometimes people come with you. Sometimes others come with you but take a much smaller role in your life.
Just because you like change doesn’t mean that you have to enjoy every part of it.
