No Changes
|
No Changes I feel like one of those forms they give you to fill in when if all the information is correct they ask you just to write "no changes" and send it back. "Change is good, but I don't like it." Who said that? Was it me, or did someone famous once say that and I've remembered it? I don't really mind change, as long as it is not too sudden, and moves in the right direction, lol. But I am not one of those people who seeks it out for the sake of it. I always get bemused when I hear someone, when asked their interests, say amongst other things, "meeting people." Well of course, I like meeting people I like......But I have a friend who can be intensely annoying by inviting you out to the pub and then spending the whole evening talking to some git he's never met before at the next table, because: "he was dreadful wasn't he, but I found him really interesting." Each to his own, I know this is one area where I am a bit unusual. Once I like someone, I am a very loyal and easy going friend, but I am not always good with new acquaintances, especially men. I like my friend and of course he can be interested in talikg to mad psycho axe murderers in the pub if he likes, but I would prefer he doesn't waste my time on it, lol ) I like my friends to be people I already know, lol. In the same way, I frequently go back to the same places on holiday, because I loved it there before. A great holiday for me is often one week in a place I love, and a second week exploring new places in a nearby area. Actually I usually do it the other way round, finishing with the place I love, just in case. So in my life recently there have been "no changes." Mostly I like it like that. But I don't want to end up too old to change and never having done anything different. I suppose I do sometimes do new things, but there have been no radical changes, like moving to a different country, taking up tap dancing, or changing what I do for a living. I haven't even moved house for many years. Because I like my house. Or is it maybe a case of ..... (singing) : "I've been afraid of changing, 'cos I built my life around you, but time makes you bolder, even get older, and I'm getting older too..... " Hmmmmm. Time has not really made me bolder, I don't think, and maybe I am afraid of changing. |

I had a terrible timre with change last year, but am in fact bolder and now look at change differently, actually actively seek it out, but I've always been like that, willing to go new places and try new things, very happy to meet new people. All I can say is new is good, besides I was a new people one, to you  Good girls go to heaven,....Bad girls go EVERYWHERE! I love to travel  Come visit my blog tigger678902

I'm not one that likes changes, and have trouble meeting new people....sometimes. I don't like going places where I don't know anyone. I had to move out of an area where I knew lots of people, and am not happy where I'm living for lots of different reasons. Maybe it's time for a big change, if only I was brave enough to do it.

Yes.....in a way I think that is what the song examines isn't it - how to decide when to go with the landslide.

Perfect sense as always Ama. I don't think I'm ever worried about what society thinks, but you are right, maybe I would take action if ever I felt things had to change. Until then, what's wrong with liking things as they are. Or mostly as they are, lol. That's a good way of looking at it, thanks.

I find I fear change most when I'm already used to being static... Inertia can prevent us seeing or doing great things, but change should never be without purpose. Often we simply need to understand the purpose!

I do not understand change for the sake of change, but then I am admittedly static. Sometimes happily so, other times feeling like it chafes a little. My niece (four years younger than me and more of a sister than a niece, although she does often seem like an overgrown teenager) is the person in my life who understands this the least. She's always trying to force change on me. "Why don't you move out?" "Why don't you paint your room a different colour?" "Why don't you buy new clothes?" The answer is always the same. I like what I have. Contentment is a valuable thing, and it's rarer than it should be. So many people are constantly searching and never quite finding what they seek. If you are content with your life, your house, your job, your friends - then hang onto that, dear one. Do not seek an external refuge, but be a light unto yourself. "Be the change you want to see."

I wonder why your niece keeps wanting you to change - does she really think she knows how to run your life better than you do, and that it will make you happier? Or is it just fun for her to keep you changing - like dressing up her favourite doll? Or maybe does she want you to do things the way she has done them - so that by being like her you confirm to her that she has made the right decisions?
