“Life change” is an idea that I have great difficulty evaluating since my life repeatedly experiences change every minute. As I embark in diverging adventures during my existence, there is always the path that is taken and the subsequent alternatives that aren’t. An idea that I find extremely intriguing is what’s described as “the butterfly effect,” which highlights the future and its sensitive dependency under initial circumstances. Like a butterfly flapping its wings, even a tiny change in the current state within a deterministic system can result in drastic differences in a later state. 

Being but a single entity in this universe with infinitely many, simply evaluating all the “what ifs” that exist in a particular instance, much less within the entire universe can sufficiently drive us mad. It is under instances such as these which I realize that attempts in accurately predicting what lies ahead are unfeasible and limited. As scary as that may seem, this quirk is what makes life incredibly exciting and interesting. We experience similar life events but individually, we all have unique tales that can be shared. This mindset is what inspires the way I usually view changes within my life. Starting with bigger changes such as graduating university and ending with smaller, simpler changes such as getting a new haircut, I believe in appreciating what’s currently happening rather than spending ages speculating what’s next because what’s certain is what’s immediately present in the time being. That being said, I perceive life as an endless adventure where maintaining a flexible attitude when faced with change is the key in relishing it. Thus, feeling uncertainty, excitement, and even fear when change happens is perfectly fine. What’s essential is that we keep pushing ahead. After all, we are all just wandering creatures in this universe, ceaselessly seeking answers within this puzzling game called ‘life’.

I wish us all the luck and success in navigating it.
