Someone I know says that the only thing constant is change.

Life usually brings a constant flow of change. That is a reality we all must face. Whether its good or bad, change is inevitable.

My family is going through a change right now. And I know that with school starting soon it’s going to bring even more changes. Just as the pandemic brought a lot of changes.

The truth of life is that its full of change, and we constantly have to adapt. There will always be ups and downs in life. Sad times and happy times.

But the another truth is that change is not the only constant thing. Love and family is a constant part of life that will always be there. Spending time with my family or friends helps me when I find myself in one of life’s many downs. Their love surrounds me, even when some of them are miles away.

And let me tell you something else: Family does not have to be blood. I have one really close friend who I see as a sister. I have a dog that is basically a part of my family. My brother-in-law is like a brother to me as well. Sometimes blood does not have to define who our family is.

Just as change is a constant factor of life, so is love. We always surround ourselves with people and things we love. For me its my family, the outdoors, books, writing and the big blanket I have on my bed. When I’m running downhill and life seems to be throwing a lot of bad things my way, I burry myself in the things that I love. It helps me adapt and adjust. I know that when I feel like life is punching me in the face, the people I love are always there to help me back up.

So, yes, change is constant. But love is also constant. When life throws one of its many changes at you, love is always there to help you out.
