“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.” -Alan Watts

I am the type of person who is constantly changing something about myself. That’s not called changing my personality, it’s called my personality. My personality is that I’m addicted to change. 

The person that I am makes me realize that I cannot be happy unless I’m constantly changing. Sometimes I think that if I style my hair a different way or rearrange my room, that it will change my entire personality, but what I’ve come to realize is that it doesn’t change who I am, but rather adds to my personality. Changing something simple about yourself isn’t going to change who you are, you have to work hard and strive for what you want. Self-renovation isn’t something that can happen over night. 

The definition of change is to become different. There are many things that are constantly becoming different, the world changes every waking second. What I have learned from this, is that I don’t want to waste my time being the same every single day. I love to mix it up and show off every single part of me. Being different from not only other people, but other parts of myself is what makes me feel so alive.

 Maybe I’m being childish, but I know in my heart that at the end of the day, every single part of me, is just a piece of my personality. Being into different things, is what makes me, me, and that’s something I would never want to change.
