Change

Change is inevitable they say. Change is sought after by most people. You need a change, so you go on a holiday. You need a change so you take a break from loved ones (read boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse) by cheating on them. Change is thrilling, fascinating even. Because change is new.  Inevitable. 
What makes me dedicate an entire article to this small word is that I have always wanted change in life. Change the way I look. Change my profession. Change the way I get educated in my country. Change how men disrespect women. (I know at this sentence my male readers have stopped reading so no more male bashing!). So basically I have ALWAYS wanted change in life. For better or for worse. 
I wanted change so I came to the US. I became a part of Pittsburgh and its very beautiful surroundings. After staying here for a measly 8 months, I have fallen in love with this beautiful university town. I had some bitter sweet experiences here and now its time for CHANGE. I will have to change residence because I will be shifting elsewhere for a job. But this time, I am despising change. Becuase this time, what I want has changed. I dont want change anymore. I want stability. I dont want to take a break from my loved ones. I dont want to take a holiday. I dont want to get educated elswhere. I want to do what people call settle down.
So what changed?  Frankly I have no answers myself. Too much of change is not good. Probably that changed. I got more than I bargained for. 
I want to change some things in life. I want more stability. That changed. Change is inevitable. Even if you dont it. It will be there!
