Expecting life to be the same thing always is important and, I have grown to learn that whether we ask for a change or not, it would come without issuing a warning or notice. The best we can do with it is to up our game and get the best out of the changes life brings our way.
And really change is hard, it's not always easy to blend with but in the end, it can be very rewarding.
It's the hardest thing a person can do -- you either get comfortable with it, or fight it.
Fighting it will destroy you -- because the fire comes for everyone.
