contemplating change

So, I've got a nice big fat change coming up that I'm really excited about. Wanna know what it is?

MY BRACES ARE COMING OFF! 

So, if you couldn't tell, this makes me ridiculously excited. I've had these metal torture devices on my teeth since October of 2009, and they come off in LESS THAN 48 HOURS!

Yeah, it's a good change, but we talked about change at youth group on Sunday, which has me thinking. This time of year seems to be a great time for change for me. Last year, I started dating my wonderful boyfriend right around this time, as well as swimming in my last swim meet. I get my braces off on Thursday morning, and I'm working on sending off my transcripts so that I can transfer out to Ohio in the fall. I make the decisions now. Heck, I'm doing the lesson at youth group this week, on the media.

Life is full of change. We don't always like it, but it's definitely there. We need to learn to adapt, because otherwise we're gonna be miserable. Life stops for no one, and as far as I can tell, there are only three certainties in life once you're born: taxes, death, and change. Change being the only one that haunts us every day.

So, suck it up, and learn to take life step by step. We'll miss a lot if we're always wishing for the way things used to be.
