Do people change?

the act or instance of making or becoming different.

yes. some do. I believe that. I know we all want to believe it. we want to believe that we could all do better. everything changes. season change. our taste and likes change. our attention and attitudes change. we have to change we have to adapt and change. if we didn’t change and learn we’d still be in diapers shitting our pants. that’s not the world I want to live in. I believe in change because I believe I’ve changed. I want to be better than I was and I believe I am. sometimes all it takes is believing we can change for us to change. I’m in the fire academy with 8 others and I’ve seen them do things that they said they couldn’t and then they did. they and I have and will overcome great challenges. being a firefighter isn’t easy its fucking hard we have to remember so much. we have to work quick and its physical work. now I thrive in physical environments I love challenging myself and overcoming obstacles. I did a lot of my change over the last 2 years . i was getting myself ready for something wasn’t sure of what. and one day it all clicked. its funny one of the guys at the firehouse said where have you been ,navy seals wasn’t an option? you hit 30 and now decide to be a fireman. it was there the whole time I just didn’t know it. it’s in all of us to change. yes sometimes things push us into change. sometimes timing isn’t right. but if you are alive theres always room for change. when I thought it was over for me I turned my shit around. I’m grateful for that. I appreciate that. I appreciate my wife and baby to be.I’m man enough to admit I wasn’t man enough before. I wanted it all I just wasn’t ready for it all. I’m proud of myself for changing for the better and not the worse. because honestly I didn’t know I had it in me. until we are tested we don’t know. if we never hit a wall we won’t ever find a door. if we can overcome, if we can forgive, if we can learn and change. trust someone that lost his whole world pay attention before you lose your shit. change for the people that need you. You don’t have to be a different person to be a better one. As always thanks for reading or not. Adapt or die change for good. I’m sorry it took me so long to find that out.
