creature of habit

A creature of habit, I discovered I am. And anything that may disturb this equilibrium troubles me a great deal. But life is full of changes. I told myself if I allow all these aberrations trouble me each time, then I may be so messed up not knowing what has hit me. A friend told me changes build character. I agree that it should do so.

And yet, there are times that I find myself struggling in dealing with changes. It may take some time for me to get adjusted. But I know I will be fine whatever changes may arise as long as I toughen up and brave the waves of change.

But in moments I find myself grasping for constancy, I find comfort in these lines:

Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference.

Changes….. I was never a fan especially if I see ‘em happening in fast forward pace that my eyes and heart can’t keep up. But I guess there are certain facts in this world that we can’t do anything about. Changes go hand in hand with living. And if I find myself light years away from where I used to be, I’ll find comfort in the fact that most of the stars that were with me before have also drifted away from our cloud of origin. And this Eraserheads song suddenly assumed a whole new meaning for me….

Big dipper, North of nowhere

Outside the room, inside my mind

I look forward to tomorrow

But can’t leave yesterday behind

How it feels so strange

To have grown and change

Now its not the same

Coz time slips and slides into another place

And try as we might

To understand each other

Doesn’t really matter where you are

It always seems too very far

It’s like you’re light years away

You’re light years away from me
