Embrace the Marvels of Change's Quirky Makeover.

I used to believe that change was something that only happened to other people, not to me, in that it would happen but not so drastically (as if!). I thought that I could control how those around me evolved and that their changes would always align with my own desires (lol, I'm sure life looked at me and had a good laugh 😅). However, life has taught me otherwise. I now realize that change is inevitable and that I cannot always dictate its direction or pace.

As my friends and I have grown and developed, our lives have naturally diverged- for the most part. While we may have become friends because of the similarities we shared at the time, we are no longer the same people we once were. And that's okay. We are each on our own unique journeys, and sometimes those paths lead in different directions.

I have come to appreciate the friendships that have endured through these changes, and I recognize that even when things do shift (because they will), it doesn't necessarily mean the end of a relationship- it is just what it is. I now welcome change and try to go with the flow whenever it happens. Times and seasons are one thing that has been true in life. You became friends because of the way your life was at the time, and so it follows that as you’ve all grown, your lives have taken a different path. That’s Okay. You’re not enemies; you’re just on different paths. What would make it weird and sometimes cause challenges is when you insist that relations must remain as they were in spite of you all having different trajectories.

So to anyone reading this, I hope you embrace change too. I hope that you recognize that it is a natural part of life and that resisting it will only cause unnecessary complications. Instead, be open to the new opportunities and experiences that come with change, and trust that everything will untangle itself in the end.

Love always,

Princess 💕
