I’ve never understood why certain people choose to stand still in their lives, frightened by change, paralyzed by a fear so deep and dark in their psyches that they can’t even name it. Now, don’t get me wrong, there have been times in my life where I too stood still, afraid of what was coming next, afraid that I wouldn’t be able to handle the “next,” or just plain apathetic to what was happening in my life and in the world around me. However, I’ve been a girl who has embraced change, was thrilled at the “new and shiny,” and was ready to rinse, reuse and definitely recycle anything and anyone in my life that wasn’t fun or interesting anymore.
