Changes...

"And that is how change happens. One gesture. One person. One moment at a time.”
Libba Bray, The Sweet Far Thing

In evolution, "adaption" is the process of slow change while "mutation" is rapid changes in a small period of time. Don't quote me on this- I might be completely wrong. It is just how I differed them in my mind. Like in evolution our life we have slow constant change we are adapting too. Then there are those periods where we have bursts of changes. I am in the latter right now.

Some of the big changes are as follows:
1) Finished graduate school
2) Bought a house
3) Parents are selling their house
4) For the first time in my life I am closer distance wise to my parents than my sister
5) Seriously thinking about career since I graduate that might mean a job change. Not sure yet. 

These changes are just that- different, a change from before. They have changed how I conduct my daily life, and as a result recently I have reflected on change and how we as humans deal with change. I have come to realize that people assume change to be good or bad- but many times it is not something that we can tell right away, only time will tell. You also need not fear change. I am truly surprised at how many people do. I believe you should embrace change but be cautious. It is the smart way to deal with it. Things are always changing, and sometimes you don't even know it. 

“The present changes the past. Looking back you do not find what you left behind.”
