Dear Change,

You're the only permanent thing in the world and I am not sure if everybody is so pleased with that fact.

But I have this friend who is so much afraid of you. She wants it constant, just the same. She fears that if there will be change, she wouldn't be able to cope, to adapt.

Everything changes, yes, I believe. Because I am also changing. I just don't know if I'm changing for the better or for the worse. And that is the problem with you, change. We don't know if we're going to be better or be worse. Although I know that it's also up to us, the aftermath of our actions and decisions is what we are going to face. You are the aftermath of our actions, decisions, and experiences.

And suddenly, I formulated this question in my head.

Why is there a need for change?

Phone models are changing and upgrading. Our TVs from those bulky ones to just flat screens. There is also climate change.

What if we all live just the same in the beginning?

Then I realized that if there is no you, there will be no growth for us. Not just growth in physicality but also in our core.

For example. If that one quiet girl in class didn't made a change, she'll just be the same quiet girl who doesn't voice out her feelings, opinions, and ideas. She'll all keep them to herself.

As to speak in Physics, the law of inertia states that a body at rest tends to remain at rest and a body in constant motion tends to remain in constant motion unless acted upon by a net force. And you are the net force, change.

Because there is you, that girl learned to speak out her mind. Who would have thought that her ambition is to actually become a lawyer? As we all know, lawyers are great speakers. For if they are not, they wouldn't be able to defend their side. They wouldn't became an effective one.

But we cannot also deny the fact that some people have lost their track because of some changes. For example, a child which his or her parents had divorced. That child became a rebel, tried drugs and other vices, dropped school and never had to reach his or her dream. It is indeed a very tragic thing but you're the only constant thing right? So I'm just hoping that you will come again into their lives and change them into better people.

You are indeed some powerful thing. You can make one person bad or good.


But please my dear change, I hope you transform me, not into better, but to the BEST version of myself.
