Change ... Great for the world, bad for me??

CHANGE … GREAT FOR THE WORLD, BAD FOR ME??

Hi,

This is my first ever blog, and I can say I nervous as hell, I am not prone to sharing my thoughts, in fact I’m known to be fiercely independent and withdrawn. But I think if I can share, not only would it be cathartic but also may help fellow humans!

So an introduction to the chaotic minefield of a life, I am a 27, single, fat, sarcastic, realistic, depressed, really an entirely normal women. I take pleasure in having love, compassion and belief in others, I also enjoy watching all sports, alcohol, reading and my favourite activity is world watching (it’s like people watching with the added benefit of modern technology!)

The point of the blog, is to provide a unique view into the world, if you’re looking for something to remind you constantly of how good life is, you may need to read the titles of my blogs before reading.

Time for thought of day: First of all, I should really invest in a new laptop; it’s taken me 60 mins to be able to write this, due to my archaic Microsoft program! But this did get me thinking……

In life it is easier to stick with what we know, easier to maintain status quo instead of taking a risk to change for the better. I am a prime example, I have to admit, I hate change, it unnerves me, make me grumpy and sends me into a what if spiral. What if, it makes my moods worse? What if, I fail? What if I’m not good enough, what if it’s a mistake,  what if?

What if the world took this approach? Thankfully there are some that do not, there are those leading lights that show the way to go, there are some who see over the daily shit and find ways to find the green grass. This people have changed the world, these people are often forgotten.

If we all stuck to what we know, life would not have changed since ancient history! We would not have the freedom we take for granted, we would not have the modern technology we rely on, we would be living a life based on survival of the fittest. Instead we live a life that is both liberating but also dangerous, with more possessions, come more greed, more money equals more pride and hunger, more control unfortunately means more people being left behind. 

But change can also be the catalyst to amazing transformations of society and for this reason, despite my resistance; we need to do our best while working for an even brighter future. Hope and belief is key, but as a realistic this is not the easiest things to do, so if you can’t, just remember it will come. Those who suffer, are those who create miracles, because we see where change is needed, we see the shit of the world, we know what desperation feels like, we know what is needed to keep others from pain (P.S THIS MEANS WE ARE AWESOME!!)

Overall, we have to embrace change, because we cannot stand in the way of progression, but it does make life so much more complicated and creates more pitfalls for us mere mortals to trip over. These pitfalls (which I am so very good at falling into) are the challenges we face, these pitfalls are life, and between you and me, if at the each day you are alive and have something to smile about you are doing just great.

Ok, first (Rant) blog over, obviously when I write it is my perspective but I love a good discussion, if you have a difference of opinion or what to add your truth, free speech rules x LuckyA247 x
