Growing up I've always heard people say Change is constant, but I wouldn't say I really understood those words back then until I grew much older.
These words were commonly used especially when things are rapidly evolving, to understand change the example of a life cycle of a butterfly comes to mind, the butterfly starts off as a egg, then change into a caterpillar and after a while it changes in to a pupa and finally into a beautiful butterfly.
During this stages of life the butterfly has to cope with different challenges and enjoy some benefits as well for example been an egg the butterfly might go unnoticed by a Predator but what happens when it's becomes so caterpillar?
There are alot of predators that feed on catarpilers then eggs.
These stages can also be compared to human life, as a child you had nothing to worry about because your parents does the worrying for you they provide everything you need. The only thing I can remember worrying about as a child was why my sisters food was more the mine 😂😂.
I also didn't have to make any decisions or worry about how to pay bills, chances began in my life when I became a teenager aside the changes the body undergoes, my parents began to give me responsibility in the house, it was a major change.
When I became a teenager I often had mood swings these feelings were new to me, I'll cry most of the time for no reason😂 thankfully my sisters and parents were around and supportive, we shared a very strong bond and these made it easy for me to express how I felt to them.
Growing into an adult was another big change it was a hard nut to Crack even with guidance from family and friends and some books, I had to choose a career path and what I want to do with my life in general 😒
I wasn't prepared for all these changes I sometimes wish I could go back to been a child again.
I later learnt some tips that helped me cope with changes
