Change

So it is said that everything changes. For the most part I agree, there are somethings that don't change whether it is good or bad. This post isn't to refute or support that, however, I was thinking more about how change is usually inevitable and what it means. Change can suck, but it can also be good.
I'm not a big fan of change, or at least I haven't been for most of my life. I like knowing that something or someone is there for me and no matter what will be. Unfortunately change can change that. Change takes things away, whether it be by changing the feeling of someone you love and taking him or her away or whether it be by your favorite restaurant closing. When you lose something yes you do have great memories, maybe it be a special moment, a kiss perhaps. And yes you can play that moment in your head an infinite amount of times. The thing is, you miss it. Missing something is one of the most frustrating things in life especially when there is no chance of bringing what you miss back. This is why change can suck. Change creates the frustration of missing some time in your life, or something, or someone.
What I realized today is that you can take change optimistically too. If things are going bad you can realize that things always change. Usually when people think about how change affected them when they are sad it makes things worse, they begin to miss things. But what I'm saying is take it the other way. Things will change again, things will become better. Just as change takes someone you love away it can add a new someone you love into your life. All the things it can take it can also add.
Yes change can suck. But before you start hoping the sun doesn't rise and things stay the same, remember change can bring good. And it does.
