Change

Change - to make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of (something) different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone

Every individual reacts to change differently. Some people throw up walls and build defenses while other people embrace the change and look for ways to make it work to their advantage. My personal views on change have always been, "Well, it's coming, let's make the best of it." I may not be happy about it, but I just deal with the consequences of it, whether they be good or bad.

I think I'm more nervous about this big life change because, unlike all the other change I've dealt with, I brought it on myself. Normally I'm reacting to a change that I have no control over. But in this instance - well, I could have not made a change and continued living my life the way I was. I decided to take the chance and now I won't let myself back out of it. I need to get my brain back to the mindset of making the best of it - there will be good and there will be bad and I just need to deal with both and hopefully at the end of everything, come out of it happier or wiser than I had started.
