Everyone goes through different periods in their lifetime. They go through times that might not be the best, some worth remembering and some worth forgetting. Everyone grows up and we learn from our mistakes. Life keeps going no matter how unbearable it may seem at times. You just have to try to make the best of it. I’ve experienced these times first hand myself. When I was small, I didn’t live with neither of my parents. One was a drunk and the other, in another country plus, they were separated. I stayed with my great grandparents who took care of me well, still I felt miserable because I was still a child and like most children, I felt attached to my parents, mostly yearning my mom. I got used to the fact that they weren’t there for me, so I just learned not to depend on people as much and I tried making it as easy as possible for my grandparents to take care of me because I understood that it was hard for them to take care of a child when you’re in that stage in your life where you’re barely mobile. I feel more independent now because of that experience, I feel like I don’t need to rely on my parents as much to take care of me.
“Bad experiences” are helpful things; you can learn from them and in whole and become a better, smarter person. As we grow older, we tend to think more things over and worry about the smallest things that aren’t really important. Right now, teenagers are only at the beginning of life and already, we are drastically changing. I’m sure you are seeing many changes in people around you, people you thought you knew, people you’re friends with. Everyone goes through these changes, it’s what makes us human. Some people might be changing for the better, some, for the worst. There’s an upside to everything. If you already think your in the worst situation, there’s no other way to go but up right? So try to view things in an optimistic viewpoint and you might even see improvements in your life.
In the stages of your change, you may see some noticeable signs:
- A greater appreciation of life.
- A change in what is important in you.
- Improved mental and physical health.
- A higher degree of patience.
You might even feel more comfortable around other people if you were shy when you were younger. You are wiser in every way and are more aware of your surroundings. You are less “naive”. Now that you are older, you know more of what is right and what is wrong, I guess you can say that you are more in control of your actions. If you want to change something about yourself, it’s your life, do it and stick to it, you have the power and key to your change.
