Change is Good

We all need to make changes in our life. From one place to other, from one routine to other. While making a significant change, pretty much everything changes. These changes are essential for us to live. 

Changes help us to dig in and explore ourselves. They assist us in setting our priorities right and know what truly matters to us.

Two years back, I lived in a different part of the city. I was there for eight years, had the same school for seven years, and the same friends for five years. I loved my lifestyle, and I didn't want any change.

What I knew but didn't care much about was my mother. She had changed her workplace that year and was traveling 3 hours daily. She used to be exhausted and tired and didn't have much time for herself. 

We had to change it, and so my parents decided to shift near her office. Consecutively, I had to leave my friends, my school, my home, my everything. At that time, it was hard, and it felt so wrong. But, I didn't have a choice.

I invited all my friends to our housewarming party, but everyone just gave excuses and didn't come. I was sad, but I tried to understand.

One of my friends' birthday was coming up, and I wanted to be there. So we drove there so I could be with her there. Then, on friendship day, I went to see one of my other friends' house to celebrate the day with her. Next, I was going on a trip with my family, and we decide to meet my friend on the way. 

These were my closest friends back then, and I made an effort to meet them all.

A month later, it was my birthday, and I was planning to go back to meet them all on my birthday. I invited my friends to a restaurant for my birthday, and they all accepted my invite. But life is full of surprises,  and they all turned down my invite, making excuses again. One of them turned it down two days before my birthday, the other one day before my birthday, and the last one on my birthday just as we were about to leave.

I was heartbroken. We had already made our plans, so we had to go, of course, but I didn't know what to do. I did have two of my family friends and my little sisters' friends. We also visited one of my oldest friends ever, whom I wasn't in touch with then.

I realized that it was a mistake to go there for my birthday. I realized that I had stayed in my past for too long, which has only affected me. I learned from my mistakes and strived to make myself better. 

After this, I set my priorities right, understood who my real friends are, and understood that my family will always be there.

I didn't stay in my past anymore and learned to live in the present. 

Now, I am happy that I finally understood this, and I knew I could make myself better. Now, I am in contact with my true friends and my family. Now, I have changed, and Change is Good.

All of this was my personal experience, and I had to let it out. 

I hope you liked my blog. It was my personal experience that I learned from, and I hope it helps you.
