I Believe In Change

I believe in change.

Change is always happening around me and to me, sometimes even without me realizing. You can choose to either avoid it or embrace it. For me, I choose to accept change and to embrace it. Imagine if nothing changes in your daily surroundings? Imagine if you yourself never changed? The world would probably be filled with ignorant and rigid people who cannot adapt. The exact same events will happen everyday and I will get used to it soon. Will I become used to to the life I lead everyday and become happy with it? The answer is no. It is hard for me to even imagine, much less live in such a place. It would just be like living in the loop in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and reality would be like the hollowgast

The catch was this, my teacher did not tell us what we were supposed to do with them all all. Clueless yet intrigued and interested by the two caterpillars, I decided to take good care to them. I named them Bob and Ryan and spent the whole afternoon built a new home for them, by filling the bottom of their new home with newspaper that I carefully cut, plucking leaves from my garden to provide them with a feast and clearing away their waste products. Half a week later, during one of my "routine checkups" with them, I saw Bob and Ryan hanging on the twigs, frozen and not moving. My first thought was that they have became pupas and that they're going to change into beautiful butterflies very soon. It was only after taking a closer look that I realized that Bob's cacoon had turned very black with some green and white patches, also multiple ants were crawling on its body. After staring blankly at it for quite some time, it finally dawned on me that Bob was dead. I couldn't believe it! Blaming myself for not taking good care of Ryan, I vowed to make sure Bob would survive. Bob's death also made me realized that change is always happening, whether you like it or not and that change might not always be for the better and I need to grow to understand
