metamorphisis

“The waves were getting vicious, I rowed fiercely, I was losing sight of the shore. My hands moved as fast as they could, too scared to leave the place I belonged to. The fight went on, the waves pushed me back, each time I rowed faster. My hands were giving up but the internal screaming kept them going. What if I lost sight of home? My only home. I would never be able to live anywhere else. Stronger and stronger the waves went back and forth until one mammoth threw me straight in the middle of the sea.  I rowed frantically, nothing helped, I screamed and whimpered, home was gone. The sea was slowly calming down, the physical exhaustion taking over. My tears had dried on my cheeks, I was somewhere, nowhere. It was excruciatingly silent, not a sound, I was missing home. The only light was from the shining moon. Darkness, silence, void all at once. My eyes kept drooping, I was forcing myself to stay awake but I failed.

The warmth on my face woke me up. The events of last night streamed in as fear filled my veins. I frantically looked around, the darkness was replaced by bright light. The sun was shining brightly, seagulls screaming. It was beautiful, for some time I had forgotten everything. As I drifted a small island came into sight. It was stunning, wild trees, long beaches, birds chirping. As my boat approached it, I admired it beauty. It was much like home only, more beautiful.

A voice in my head asked, “Is this what we call home now?”

Change

One word, many emotions.

We’re all afraid of it, we never want to step out of our comfort zone. From tasting a new ice cream flavour to a new beginning, we hesitate for everything.

We fight it, resist it, unaware that it could be one of the best thing that ever happened to us. Change is never bad; it might be difficult but never bad. Each experience teaches us something. Only when you let yourself free will you find out how extraordinary you can be. At first it might seem wrong like you were better before but don’t let that play with your mind. Trust me change only nourishes you and it is always for the greater good.

I have myself experienced it. Moving from home, new house, new friends, it was all devastating. But today if you ask me, I’m exactly where I want to be. I wouldn’t lie, it sucked at first, like a lot but I got used to the new people and after a while it was refreshing. I was soon busy with my new life and I had left the old me far behind. I had started to love this new place; it was finally home.

I’m saying all this not because I want you to leave everything behind and start fresh, I want you to embrace change, even the smallest of them.

Change gives you the opportunity to take with you only the things that you want in the future. Stepping into a new phase, starting a new beginning gives you the chance to change yourself, help you become a better person.

The more I think about it, the more I realize how thankful I am for the changes I accepted and how much I regret those I didn’t.

Optimism/ hope that things will get better, are the things that help you to push through. Even when the there’s no light, keep faith, a dark tunnel opens up to a bright sky. Don’t give in, keep pushing. I promise you’ll get through!

And as far as missing the people you love comes into picture, you shouldn’t worry. The ones who love you will always be there, no matter how far you go.

I guess that’s all, my 600 words of encouragement to all those who need it. I love all of you and I’m sure you’ll love the new things that come your way!

 Until next time folks,
