Change is the Only Constant

As cliche as it sounds, we have no choice but to truly embrace change. Changes occur daily. Even if I wish, there is no way in which I can stop changes from happening.

I am about to undergo changes in portfolio. Yes, again. Ever since I started work, I have never stayed in a single portfolio for longer than 2 years. Sometimes, the changes can occur after a few months.

I used to be very affected by staff attrition and turnover, especially colleagues that I have bonded well with. Now, it just becomes another facet of life. Colleagues come and go, but the jaded me is no longer as emotionally affected.

Changes in personality can sometimes be so subtle and gradual that they escape detection. Environment and personal experiences can shape personality. To say I have remained the same as 4 years ago will be an outright lie.

Since I cannot stop change, I just hope all the changes are for the better.

Out of Touch

Writing also requires practice. Ever since I stop blogging on a regular basis, I find my writing deteriorating rapidly. The rustiness of writing can never be quite compensated with any amount of reading which I try as hard as possible not to slacken.

Where in the past, the writing will come to me naturally. The thought sometimes can be so overpowering that I wish I can type as fast in order not to lose the thoughts. Now, I need to pause and mull over how to better express my ideas for them to be comprehensible.

The first to deteriorate is certainly the vocabulary. I often find myself stumped for the appropriate word to use, often ending up using the same few words and resulting in monotonous and dull writing and conversations.

Apologies, if you are already yawning at this point reading. Just bear with me while I sharpen my pen again. *Wink*
