We say all the time that change is the only constant thing in life, but in reality adults don’t like change. We ignore it, push it aside, pretend it doesn’t exist for as long as we can. We prefer to take the same roots day by day and God forbid we actually have to learn something we are afraid to do.

But it’s even better, when you finally manage to do something you have been trying for a while. It’s not really a point of whether you have done it good or just manage to do it sort-of-okay. It gets easier with time, and hopefully better.
The first step is the hardest- literally and figuratively!
