The One With Change

So umm.. it was the last day of this school year yesterday. Well, only if you don't count the exam dates.

Adults say that we'll realise the importance of childhood once we get through with it but I think I already did. Time flies so fast doesn't it? In what, a day I'm gonna complete my 14th year of living . I'm going to enter 9th grade in a month or so, going to graduate out in 4 years time. All this while 9 year old me tried to imagine how I would turn out to be.

Frankly, I'm not a big fan of change. Change brings death, guilt, grief and sadness but at the same time, uncontrollable happiness, love and joy if you're one of the lucky ones. It's simply unpredictable. One of the many things which I'm not okay with. Change is the only constant in life after all.

If we're being honest, for students, the real new years is when the school session ends. When you possibly prepare for the biggest changes in your life. I always used to think of change as a demon, a maniac ready to strike. Truth be told, I still do but the fact that change was the reason I am where I am right now, is saying a LOT. Even though change was the mere reason I experienced how harsh love could be, and how it feels like to be at the dip of your life, I'm still grateful for it. Which, for a fact, is extremely rare coming from me.

P.S. So, anyways, I hope you enjoyed my rant. If not, I'm not the one to say anything. Good luck for your exams and hope to see all of you alive by the end of it. Bye <3
