Life is a spiraling journey through ups and down cascading and overlapping upon each other. One minute everything could be going great and in a split second one's worst nightmare may strike. Today's worries are drastically different compared to last year痴 worries to the day. Try to think of what you were worrying about last year on this day and I bet you can't do it. Life is driven by change. A change in season, a change in mood, a change in day, a change in time, a change in grade, a change in job, a change in month, a change in year, a change in relationship status, a change in prospective. I'm sure one gets the point. Life is constantly moving on with one's grace or without it. Alteration is what keeps life interesting so that it never dulls. It gives one a reason to get out of bed to face a new and unexpected day of events. Change good or bad is the spark to jumpstart life like gasoline is to a car. Normality is always favored over the unexpected because one's mind tends to dislike change. People as a general rule fear the unknown so their first reaction to it is sheer hatred. No matter one's reaction to it, it enviably is still going to happen. Change is what keeps life going, I get that, but at times one needs a constant, one thing or person that no matter what happens one can rely on. Whomever or whatever that constant may be he/she/it would give hope and bring a reassuring smile to one who has lost all reason to smile. Through good and bad, spring and fall that person would hold you close and never let the world hurt you. People all need to feel like they are loved and needed at times--some more than others. In a world that relies on change to run, it'd be nice to have one constant, someone who through everything is your backboard to fall against and your protectorate from harm. One needs a constant that brings hope to all your tomorrows and only wishes for the best for you now and forever more. I hope you find such a constant in your life, because the truth is everyone deserves one.
