change is good

6/22/22

hello cherubs, I hope this blog finds you well.

today we are going to be talking about change.

change can be many things. good, bad, neutral, ugly, happy. change is all about perspective.

to me, I've always feared change. change is something that I saw as scary and fearful because I like things to be the way they've always been. I have a sense that I need to be in control of the things around me and therefore change doesn't have a place.

when things change, it can be scary. change is welcoming new and unknown things. change is unique to what we've always been used to doing. but that doesn't mean it's bad.

if you know me personally, you'd know that I recently left my first ever job. this job was a change in the beginning, from not having a job at all to dealing with coworkers, managers, and customers all at once, while learning a new skill. but this job quickly became something enjoyable and fun and something I looked forward to.

with that being said, I started this job in high school and have been there four years. I am now a senior in college and looking to go places more in my career field. so it was finally time to close that chapter in my life.

I don't think it's hit me yet that I won't be returning as a partner anymore, but as a customer. (but I did get a little teary eyed telling my favorite customer goodbye :( ) but it is a change that I know it is time for. I have a better job, with better pay, that is more towards my career path.

I am choosing to see this as a growing opportunity until I find what fits me best. my perspective of this change in life is hopeful. I hope to continue the friendships that I created during those four years, I hope to dive into my new job with potential, and I hope that this new job leads me to where I want to be.

change can be terrifying, but only if you let it be. it is up to you to tell yourself, "this is my chance to grow as a person and not be afraid."

I found this lovely quote on Pinterest that fits perfectly that I want to share:

butterflies are one of the most perfect examples as to why change is beautiful. without change, a butterfly would not be able to become its true self.

take that as a lesson for yourself: with change becomes you true potential.

even if no one else believes in you, I do...

keep up the amazing work, you won't regret it.

I'll see you cherubs in the next one,
