Constant Change

The only things constant in life is change. What a paradox, but it's the truth. I wish things don't change. Though change for the betterment is good but gradually, please (my heart can only take so much). I'm the type of person who doesn't like her boat being rocked. I like everything stable and steady. But that's not possible. Circumstances change. People come, people go. Everything has a beginning and an end. You might say I am adverse to change because I like status quo. I like things as they are because it gives me a sense of security, a sense of normalcy. When things change and I have already thought of that possibility prior to its occurence, it becomes more bearable because I am forewarned, therefore forearmed. But when the totally unexpected happens, I feel like somebody pulled the rug under my feet. I'm devastated, disoriented and/or disillusioned. Maybe I should become a ninja so that I could expect the unexpected.
