Change is a choice

From the time we are small we are taught that change is inevitable. Nothing stays the same always, hell...look at my hair color on any given day. The only thing constant in our lives is change. That's an easy enough concept to grasp. But what about us, do we constantly change or do we, at some point, reach a point where we can't be anything but what we are?

I've thought about this a lot recently, and here's what I've come up with: Change is a choice. We choose how we interact with people, we choose how we love, and if something doesn't seem to be working for us, we choose if and how we want to fix it.

I think fundamentaly, who you are at your core, at the heart of you, will never change. But I do believe that change is a choice. And that choice is governed by many factors. Maybe change is a product of pain, or pleasure, or someone else's prodding, or maybe you just don't like how things are going, so you decide to shake it up a bit. Whatever the reason, you choose who you are. And right now, I like who I've chosen to be.
