Change: "make (someone or something) different; alter, modify"
I am not the most fond of change. Let me re phrase, I am not a huge fan of necessary change you are in denial and incapable of realizing must happen. Want to know why? Because that is HARD. Coming to terms with a person or a situation that no longer benefits you is just as hard as starting to move on and heal from it. Making excuses and squeezing yourself into a mold you do not fit in anymore ends up hurting much worse than excepting the facts and moving on. The more you try to make a situation work for you that clearly does not, the universe will continuously send you signals to make a change. If this is with a person your sign could be them making mistakes over and over they swore they would not do again. Or if this is with your setting, school, etc things might keep popping up that makes you question, makes you feel hurt, or makes you realize deep down what you have to do.
Personally, I have experienced being in denial and not accepting the fact that a certain situation was not good for me. The funny thing is, that in the back of my head from the very beginning of my experience I knew it did not match my lifestyle or morals. I also voiced this opinion to family and close friends early on, but I always made excuses why I should stay or why it will suddenly work out. As I was trying to put on this front to everyone I cared about, I did not realize I was lying to myself as well. For someone that is very self aware and knows what they deserve this was heart wrenching for me to accept for myself. There were fun and exciting moments but nothing that made me convinced that was a place I should be.
Making large changes to your life is scary. It is scary because you are the only one in charge of yourself. Once you become aware you are responsible for everything that goes on in your life, you may start to feel apprehensive about many things. Because at the end of the day that is giving yourself the power to make or break yourself. You could give a list of reasons why you "have" to stay in a certain place or why you "have" to be with this person, but that my friend is a saftey blanket. You're scared. Thats okay though thats normal, the good thing is when you recognize something no longer suits you, better things come. You glow up mentally, and physically. When you do life how you were born to do it everything starts to fall into place. Do not morph yourself to be a person you are not, it only hurts you in the end.
