Importance Of Change In My Life

Everything changes - the seasons, friends, goals, dreams, and so much more. It’s understandable to believe that not everything changes, but when you look back on your life you realize change is what got you to where you are today.

The cars drive in a line across town, a long black car already there. The other cars go around to meet the end of it. I am holding over two dozen red roses with a few white ones mixed in.
