Change is inevitable

 I think one of the best, yet annoying things about life is the fact that we are constantly changing and evolving. It feels like every time I think I know myself, I quickly realize I don't. I mean, this is an expected feeling to have at 20 years old but it's sometimes so frustrating. I start to question almost everything, and it always feels like I'm starting over again but that's because I am.

Starting all over again and truly asking yourself if you like the direction you're going in, in all aspects of your life, can be a bit hard to navigate. For me at least, it feels like my brain has so many boxes filled of all the things I once enjoyed that wants to be neatly emptied out and see if we still like the same things we did 2 years ago and maybe even last year! I sometimes wonder if it's because I'm growing up or if it's because I get bored of the same things after a while. Maybe it's both.

Although I might not know myself completely, I do know that I'm always looking for something different and new to do. While I enjoy routines from time to time, it can get boring. I crave a life of spontaneity. I want to travel the world and see places I've never seen before, and as I type this, maybe I do know myself more than I thought I did. Like every other 20-year-old, I'm still figuring everything out. This post is proof of that.

While figuring out who you are can be a bit confusing sometimes, I think the beauty in all of it is that every year, you evolve and grow; you become someone new and different in certain ways while still keeping remnants of who you were. No matter who we become though, it's always important to live the way we want to live. As corny as it sounds, always march to the beat of your own drum and never someone else's. Everyone's version of living life looks different and as long as you're living yours the way you want too, then no one can tell you you're doing it wrong.
