change

they say the only constant in life is change. kind of ironic if you ask me. but it's also very true. things change. they are constantly changing. if they weren't then life wouldn't be what it is. life changes, is ebbs and flows into new seasons of life- people come in and out of our lives- for better of worse sometimes. and it's okay. we have to be okay with change. why? because it inevitable. it's expected. just as surely as the seasons are bound to change so are the seasons of life we are in. we are never in the same place twice, each day is brand new bringing about it's own form of new experiences. but sometimes change can hurt or leave us feeling empty. like when people who we thought were always going to be there along side us are suddenly gone. it leaves our soul feeling ripped or torn. a gaping hole is now left in our hearts where this person used to be. a space that only they can fill. nothing will ever be the same. nothing can bring them back. life is too short to be living for tomorrows. the way i see it tomorrow isn't real. there is no such thing as tomorrow. there is only today. so why not live in the here and now, taking each moment in, cherishing it, remembering it? Dont be afraid of telling someone how you feel or taking chances- because today is all we have.
the other thing about life that we have to know comes down to 3 simple words: life moves on. whether we're aware of it or now. it keeps going. the seasons change- summer to fall, fall to winter, winter to spring. and thus the cycle of life continues. expect change. embrace it. God has all things in his hand. nothing surprises him. So ready yourself for whatever comes your way. life your life, not someone else's. dont get caught up in looking ahead in life that you forget to stop and smell the flowers or see the beauty of the fall leaves or watch clouds pass by. Make memories with the people you love, because we never know how long we have because things change. So make the most of right now.
