Wow. I can't believe it's almost been two years since I last put up a post. Well, lemme stop pretending because I originally started this blog as a class project (I got good grades in that unit BTW so the blog was a success) so really I was done with the blog when the semester was over. Anyway, I remembered that I was once a wannabe blogger and decided to go down memory lane. Oh boy what a trip that was! I've been reading through my posts back then and realized that I am actually a good writer. Not to brag, but I've always known I could write,just never knew I could express myself that well.
That trip took me back to two years ago and I realized how much I have grown through those two years. Most people think growth is mostly physical or financial. You know, you finish campus, get a good job, move to a bigger house, get a car etc... same old drill that most people go through. But the truth is, growth can involve every aspect of you as a whole. Looking back at my posts, I realized how much I've grown mentally and linguistically. I don't necessarily reason the same exact way I did two years ago, I no longer view the world, in the same exact way that I viewed it two years back either.
Change is good. Change shows that you have grown. I read a quote a few weeks back somewhere that 'everythng is temporary, but change is constant'. So true. Change is the one constant and definite thing we are all sure will happen in the course of our lives (death also). We may not necessarily know the type of change that will happen, but we always know it will happen some day. And truth is, change is scary. Getting done with school is a sort of change, getting a new job is change, getting married is change. But we more often that not ignore the simpler changes in life. Like the fact that you most probably have to drop more and more people out of your life as you grow up, or that life experiences teach you a lot and you gradually change the way you view the world. I'm always happy any time I look back and relalize how much I've changed because change indicates growth. And growth is positive. I personally think that people should aim for change every new year, instead of coming up with those bogus new year resolutions that they never live up to. See, aiming for change instead guarantees growth and I think is personally more fulfilling. Aim to constantly improve yourself and you'll always be ahead of the pack.
