Change Happens

Sometimes, I hate to accept change.

Scratch that. Make that all the time.

Change is something that I hate to give in to. It's a miserable feeling having to realize that you have to lose every single great memory of your life to something else newer and more extravagant. I realized all of this while in a conversation with Ashley from AppleCare. After she told me that I'd possibly have to wipe out my entire phone just to make way for a new update, it finally hit me that I'd be erasing all of the good times from that, too.

It hit me that one day, when I graduate high school, I have to finally give way to a whole new world of change, something that I really don't want to do.

For example, today was the 6th anniversary of my grandfather's passing, and it made me realize that change had forced that unbearable statement onto me.

Or the end of the school year last year, when one of my best guy friends had told me he'd miss me, and then completely forgot about me over the entire summer.

Change had forced my life to go from something really sunny and beautiful into something that took way too much time to ponder about. It's the idea of having to lose everything you've ever loved into something newer, better, and more fabulous. I don't like it, regardless of the consequences.

You might like change, but I don't.

Change has affected me in so many ways that I'm not particularly too sure if it has left a positive or negative impact on my life.

Finally, it's just sad to see things go because of this concept called change.
