"Change"
If I could hold you close
Like you were never gone
If I could hear your voice
You'd tell me to be strong
But sometimes
I just can't
I just don't understand
Why you had to go
Why you had to go
I guess I'll never know
Ain't it funny how you think
You're gonna be OK
Till you remember things ain't never
Gonna be the same again
(same again)
Ain't it crazy how you think
You've got your whole life planned
Just to find that it was never ever
In your hands
(in your hands)
Change
If I could get to you
I'd be there in a minute
My world don't make no sense
Not without you in it
And sometimes
I just cry
Can't say I
Don't know why
But why'd you have to go?
(why'd you have to go?)
And leave me here alone
(and leave me here alone)
Ain't it funny how you think
You're gonna be OK
Till you remember things ain't never
Gonna be the same again
(same again)
Ain't it crazy how you think
You've got your whole life planned
Just to find out it was never ever
In your hands
(in your hands)
Change
You don't see it coming
Change
When the future comes knocking
It changed
It can make you and break you too
You just have to make it through
(You just have to make it through)
Ain't it funny how you think
You're gonna be OK
Till you remember things ain't never
Gonna be the same again
(same again)
Ain't it crazy how you think
You've got your whole life planned
Just to find out it was never ever
In your hands
(in your hands)
Change
Change, change
Change, change
Change
Change. Good or bad? Destiny or product of our own actions?
I see change as something good. Change! We should always keep moving forward. Change!
Yes sometimes you don’t see it coming but what it means? That it was totally out of your hand or it was something that you without realizing caused it?
Even though at times it seems to me I could have done nothing to avoid that change, that it was out of my hands, truth is, I do think that it us that make it happen through our actions.
And yes things are never gonna be the same again after. Nor they should, even though as good as it sometimes can be to revive the past or experience it a little bit we shouldn’t be stuck in it. Embrace the future. Change!
Change people! Re-invent yourselves. Things aren’t static but in constant change! Don’t try to hold to a reality which is no longer the present. People change so move on, let them go as hard as it could be.
Looking back now I see how much changes I’ve been through. So many times changing school, home, so many things and people left behind. And somehow I’ve never went back. I think for me changes will keep me busy for a while still. However when I am older. When life is no longer about looking into the future but look into the past to see what we’ve been through and achieved I wish I’ll be able to go back. Go back and revive all of those moments revive the company of all of those people that at some point made part of my life but somehow disappeared in life changes.
I wish you too are able to change stranger.
P.S – Amazing what a song can make us feel or think.
“You have to embrace your inner Freak!”

No patience to listen to the song now...maybe later.
Anyway this post was a bit redundant but okay. I usually embrace changes as long as they're happy ones...it's the heartbreaking ones I resent. I don't know if they're always for the best...
This post is making me too thoughtful. I need to go back and read the Jingle Bells post again. XD
Not my kind of song but i would listen to it if i really really really had to... maybe in a bus or something...
"Change people! Re-invent yourselves. Things aren’t static but in constant change! Don’t try to hold to a reality which is no longer the present. People change so move on, let them go as hard as it could be."
Hum... this sounds like a party campaign or a pope speech (but he's too old to say things as vigorously as your words demand to be said)... ... but you're somewhat right. Today i wrote an article about portuguese wanting to make some changes in the dictionary... because language is changing rapidly and in a bizarre way... and i wrote about changing. As you know, this country has issues about changing and moving on. We can see that with the imposition of the euro... we still make conversions to the old coin even if we don't use it anymore... I can't understand these people...
I think change does not have to do with not being able to look back. It has to do with moving forward and still being able to look back without sorrow. My opinion, it is... still I can't change without thinking about what it would have been if I had done things in a different way...
Wow, I'm confused with my own thoughts... i mean, i'm confused with what i wrote and what i'm thinking...

Honestly? - I'm torn about this whole change thing.
On a personal level, of course, I adore change - it's how I can develop, learn and grow and so far, it has given me a lot of that. One of my most radical changes was probably moving to Poland and even though I'm still missing Romania, I feel like it's been so good for me, in terms of broadening my horizon, preparing me for further changes and difficulties, too.
However, I can't help looking back... I often see the good parts change has brought me, but, just like Luna up here, I sometimes do wonder, "what if..." .. and I seem to think that it might have been better, if "..." .. but that probably has osmething to do with the fact that I'm never 100% pleased so I also look into the past, along with looking into the future.
Don't get me wrong though - it's not like I'm living in the past or anything.. I'm also rather dreamy about the future! (and I can pretty much exaggerate into that direction too xD)
So yeah. That would basically have been one point - my personal future as one great (hopefully positive :) ) change.
Point number two. The grim one. Don't you notice how every postive change also leads to a negative one? It's just the way the world works so nothing new there. Take uhmm ... atomic power. Great environment-friendly source of energy/bombs and iradiation. Or cars: quick and comfy and practical only ooops... destroys our environment. Or genetical engeneering. Life-saving, but can we handle the moral implicatons?
And the list can go on and on and on...
But the scary thing is - the changes we're making now are so much more harmful than what was understood under "change" hundreds of years ago, that I'm wondering where the heck this is all leading to.
And I'm also wondering whether the change that will happen in the next 20 years or so is going to make this a world in which I'd like my children to live. Most probably not, so then why should I be excited about it? .. the problem is also touching me, as I realize that my ermmm.. chosen area of study/future job is not exactly one that will save this world from collapsing. And it's making me unsure of whether I really want to study it with all my heart. :/
Ah. And now I have to apologise for ranting so much. xD I feel I could go on and on about the pessimistic thing but.. I've made my point, more or less. I hope I didn't confuse anyone too much(aka more than I, myself, am confused anyway ) xD
Last thought, and I'm gone. xD
I'm not saying we shouldn't encourage change or that we should stick to the past - I'm just meaning to say that we should be careful about shouting out loud, "Change! Change!" and think that whatever the future brings, it will have both a bright and a dark side.
We'll just wait and see. :)
*waves* Nighty!
