Everything changes (poem)
To be afraid of change is to be afraid of living.
Quite a lot of people are afraid of change because of what it might bring; however, life isn’t about avoiding pain — it’s about dancing through the rain, exploring the unknown. There are more people than I can count who are terrified of the unknown, but if you hadn’t explored the unknown in the past, you would never have really grown.

Life isn’t about staying where you’re comfortable. If you try, at some point life will push you further whether you like it or not, so you might as well take a leap of faith toward the next stepping stone rather than sitting around on your phone.
Fear can make people do horrible things, but you can’t pull strings and control what life brings. Life will always pull you further and further into the unknown. Quite a lot of people will try to pull away and go somewhere else, but what you should do is run toward it — it’ll be a lot easier if you stop sitting around on a couch made of wool. It’ll be much easier if you run toward that call, if you follow that pull.
