What Life is Like When You Hate Change


I've always been very content with where I am at my entire life. I adapt to my surroundings, I get used to them and I stick to them. I guess it's surprising I chose to move 1,000 miles away for the summer even though I hate change but it's made me realize what it's like to live when you hate change.
Here is my list of what it's like to live when you hate changes.

1. You don't mind eating the same foods 
Applebees- I'll have the steak please
Red Lobster- I'll have the steak please
McDonalds- What do you mean you don't have steak?
If you found a food you really like, you will eat it for every meal.












2. Plans should be followed
There is nothing worse than plans falling through. You don't understand how someone can change their plans in just a few seconds, you made plans like last week for this.



















3. You will stay at a job your don't like just because you don't want to switch jobs
Switching jobs would mean: New co-workers, New Boss, New office... basically just a whole bunch of changes. Suddently your boss only giving you a 2 day notice on a project doesn't seem as bad as starting a new job.















 4. Same with Relationships, it's not worth the switch
You will stay with a person a lot longer than you should because you are comfortable in the relationship. The love may have died but the thought of having to start over with someone new keeps you in your current relationship.


















5. You get social anxiety when put into an unfamiliar territory
You mean there are going to be people there I haven't known for several years? I'll stay home, thanks.












6. You've had the same friends forever
Once you find friends you like you will cling to them. You're not big on making new friends.

















7. You really didn't want to leave high school
I mean you had all your friends there, you found your clique, there was really no need to leave all the progress you made in high school.












8. Same With College
If you took the risk and left your hometown to go to college you probably found that 4 years goes by quick. Once you finally got a schedule going, a steady group of friends and starting to get to know some of your professors it was time to leave... again.













9. Your early 20's are the worst 
The age of change. Everyone starts saying, "ohhhh welcome to the real world." "What are you going to do when you graduate." "where do you see yourself in 5 years" MAKE IT STOP!!

Why Are We so Afraid to Catch Feelings?


In the past few months I've heard more and more people using the term: "Catching the Feels." At first I joined along. For some reason my generation has an issue with falling in love. I've read countless articles about why our generation is unable to love and it's really starting to make sense to me. We refuse to admit having feelings for someone.

Heres my thing... If I am talking to you, I have all intentions on "catching feels" for you. Does that mean I am going to be stalking you outside your house at 2a.m. three weeks after talking, no. But what it does mean is that when I wake up in the morning I look forward to your text. It means I search your name on Twitter just to see what your up to. I guess you could say I am creepy or that I get attached too easy but I'm not interested in wasting my time attempting to not catch feelings.

If I am not interested in catching feels for you then I won't talk to you. I am not here to play games. I am strong. I am independent. I can survive on my own. I don't talk to men to get attention. I don't keep men around to keep me company. If I like you, I will make it obvious. If I catch feels for you then I'll make sure you know. I see no point in talking to someone if your against catching feeling for them.

I remember the first time I was told, "You're getting too attached."  At the time I was young and it hurt me. I turned off all my feelings and attempted to never get too attached. But then I grew up. I found someone else that was interested in getting attached too. And we did get attached. We feel in love. Did it last forever? Nope. But did I enjoy being in love, of course. I am not scared of falling in love.

If a guy tells you you're catching feelings or getting too attached tell them to screw off. You don't need that type of little boy in your life. Call me a hopeless romantic but if I find someone that makes me laugh, has common interest and will accept my creepiness then I'll catch feels. I am not afraid to "catch feelings." Let's end this shit.
