why i carry bobby pins in my pocket.

it's just funny.

the only thing that is constant in this world is change, the only thing that will always be here is change. yet, us silly humans being here and now are stressed out by the fact that change happens, like when we start a new job, meet someone new, try a different method, it usually makes us a little jittery. it can be a good jittery, or a bad jittery, this depends on how well the person can roll with it, this weird thing we call change.

and well, since change is the only thing that is always here, one would think that we would be used to it by now, but no, usually the silly humans being here get nervous. why do we torture ourselves? why can't we just get used to the fact that nothing is permanent or secure? why can't we realize that life is a big change happening at all angles and perspectives and levels at all times, forever? hey, i sure don't know, that's for sure. and i am definitely one of those silly humans i was talking about. i like to be comfortable, warm and fuzzy shoes with socks in the middle i have been wearing for days. three day old sock comfort, now that's WEAR it's at. (pun intended)

so, maybe to be the best person we can possibly be though, maybe we should strive to embrace change, to get better at rolling with the flow, to aim at being alert at all angles at all times: to be prepared for just about anything that comes our way. life is always going to change. John Lennon said in his great song, Beautiful Boy, "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." yet, i don't think that there is an advantage to not making some sort of plan with your life or time, but there is an advantage to having back-up plans, or maybe not being so discouraged when everything you have planned does not pan out as exactly as previously envisioned.

we can predict the wind, but we cannot change it, and we should try not to get too pissed off when it blows our hair out of place. that's why i carry bobby pins in my pocket.
