changes

i used to hate it when someone said that i've change, to me, it had another meaning, to me, it meant that i was no longer who i was before, who i was when i was with them, and i thought it was a bad thing,

but i've learned that change is good, change is needed for growth,

change is progress, changes open new doors and pushes you on new paths,

changes is needed for one to expend their thoughts, open their eyes to new views, accept new ideas & thoughts, 

if someone tells you you've change then be glad with that, be glad that you were not who you were before, be glad that you are rising, be glad that you've come a long way from before,

when people tell you you've change, be glad because you've grown, be glad because you've learned so much more than you have before, be glad because you stepped out of your small little space for a bigger view, be glad because you've learned to conquer things you never knew you could, did things you were once afraid of, be glad when someone tells you you've change because my dear, no one wants to be the same person they were last week, last year or even yesterday.

people want to grow, and so should you, 

you're allowed to change, you're allowed to where clothes that make you feel better, 

dye your hair because it makes you feel confident in it, you're allowed to cut negative people from your life because thats your choice, you're allowed to grow and leave things and people that were once holding you back, you're allowed to change, and be a new better version of you, you're allowed to change and redefine yourself on your own terms, and not care what anyone has to say

and i hope i've changed, i hope i've grown stronger & wiser, i hope people see growth in me and no longer that little kid that i was before.

i hope i've change and people can see that, people can see the progress i've made, how far i've come,

how hard i've worked to be where i am today,
im passionate, strong, confident, wise, brave, soft, gentle, stern, hard, happy and so many more good things and i hope to never let negativity get the best of me,
here's to 20 years of living and to many more, so that i can contribute to my loved ones and to the world
