All Things Change

Things are kind of lame right now. Everything seems lame, honestly. I'm definitely emerging from whatever phase I was stuck in and turning into a new version of myself, and sometimes that's lonely. Things change, people change, circumstances change, and there isn't really anything you can do to stop it.

One of my favorite quotes comes from the life-changing 1995 film and manga series, Ghost in the Shell. The Puppet Master says to Major Motoko Kusanagi, "All things change in a dynamic environment. Your effort to remain what you are is what limits you."

Everything changes. That's life.

I don't know exactly where this new path is going to lead me, but I know it has to be better than standing still. I've always preferred to live my life trying to be a little better than I was the day before. Not perfect, just moving forward.

Trying to stay stagnant seems silly. Existing without growth or improvement feels lazy. Maybe that's the easy path, and while easy is certainly easy, it has never been better. Not even close.
