I’m one of those people who likes to have a plan, who likes to know what’s coming. I don’t do very well with change, and I don’t particularly like to put myself in uncomfortable situations. Yet time and time again, I’ve realized that my plans aren’t always the best in the long run, that sometimes the greatest things happen when I don’t see them coming. I’ve realized that those uncomfortable situations push me to be stronger, and that if there is no change, there can never be any growth.
It’s easy to forget, to ignore, when it feels so unnatural. But it’s in those times, when I find myself trying to resist the change, that I have to remember that in the end, I’d rather fail going after the things I love than stay comfortable but stay exactly where I am…
And here’s a pretty little song I’ve recently fallen in love with, Breezeblocks by Alt J. If this is the first time you’re ever listening to this song, yes, he is speaking english. No seriously, I died laughing the first time I heard it because it sounded like he was speaking jibberish. Ask Jake. I thought it was hilarious because I couldn’t figure out one single word he was saying. But then the more I listened to it, the more I couldn’t stop listening to it. It has a sort of haunting beauty to it… Enjoy.
