Change

By Dhyani Joshi

Change is something we all despise. Although it is oftentimes something we hate, it is oftentimes something we need in order to grow; change is necessary. I too despised change before I accepted it, but accepting change is the best thing I've ever done. This is my story.

In 2022, my life was messed up. I had lost all my friends and my grades went down drastically. I almost failed even though I used to be a scholar. My head was filled with unwavering hatred for myself; I felt unworthy of love. 

But then I realized that there was nothing I could do to change the past, but my future was in my hands. And knowing this, I started to change. When I tried to change, I became more confident. I began to love myself. I made genuine friends and improved my grades. I went to the gym. I became the best version of myself. 

See, change is not a setback. It is a step towards who you are supposed to be. Change can shape your life into the "perfect lifestyle " you want to live. Change can bring out the best in you; you will meet different versions of yourself. So know that change isn't always easy, but it'll always lead to something better—something you deserve.
