Change can provide new opportunities and new experiences. Change is new, something that one is not used to. Change is scary, as you don’t know if the outcome will be beneficial or unfavorable. Therefore, I am more like the idea of stability, the idea of staying the same.
If I wrote this blog weeks ago, I would say how important change is and how much good it can bring. Simply put, change can push self growth, can create exciting experiences, and even allow us to move forward with our lives. This is all true and some may argue that the same old gets boring and provides no excitement. Although to me, sameness brings me comfort. I find comfort in repetition and knowing what to expect. I love knowing what is in store and what the outcome will be.
I can greatly apply this to my life at the current moment. As I grow, mature, and live each day, the more I experience the repetition of my life. Going to school, working out, and doing homework until I am too tired. This is definitely monotonous. For a while, it got boring and all I wanted was change. I definitely received that change when me and my significant other decided to part ways. 2 years of being with the same person. 2 years worth of repetition, simply gone. In addition, spring break had put a halt to schoolwork and the weight it had on my shoulders. It was refreshing. The combination of all of this change at once made me feel liberated, free, and opened up exciting experiences. Although, in a sense after experiencing it all, I felt lost. Nothing compared to the productiveness and stability I felt before I underwent all of this change.
Of course, I am grateful for it and there should always be a balance, but I am more comparable with the same old. Going with the flow of what I know is going to happen. Too many new things happening at once stresses me out. As a person, I don’t change for anyone or anything. Sameness is something I value, even if it means risking not opening a new door of opportunity.

Hi kristina! Your perspective on change is really good, and i too agree that it can open up new possibilities. Though it can be difficult to change at times, it is always worthwhile in the end. I’m really happy for you that the break took some weight off your shoulders! The struggle with school and other stuff is completely understandable
