Change?

Everyone has their own roles to play in this world,
Their own battles to fight,
Their own puzzles to solve,
Their own hearts to mend...
Deep within us all is a place where we harvest our strength to pull through all our problems.
Some days that supply will run out or run on low,
So we lean and depend on others to support us.
But sometimes, you just get tired of pulling others down with you.
You get so over having to reach out to others in order for you to survive.
Though you're unable to stand on your own,
You're too proud to ask for a helping hand.
At times you find yourself wanting to step forward,
But are unwilling to accept change, so you stay put.
Sometimes you might even be pushed backwards, but never forward.
The past has always seemed to be the best to me,
Perhaps its because i've lived through it and have had so much time to replay it in my mind and to understand it on every single level and angle.
I suppose we all feel safer with what we know rather than the unknown.
New opportunities present itself right before your eyes,
Trying to hold out a caring and loving hand,
But we hesitate, not wanting to take the chance that could change everything.
We've stood in that same spot for such a long time,
Our minds tell us to just step forward,
Take the risk,
Forget the past,
Move on.
But as always, there is something which stands in the way.
Perhaps its fear,
Or your own comfort in being so used to living this way.
It's hard to accept change,
And we struggle each day, making decisions which control our fate.
"Love" is probably the most challenging thing we'll face in our adolescent and perhaps our adult lives.
There are so many factors and theories behind "love" and i suppose that's what makes it so difficult to understand.
The things we choose and are forced to do because of the love we feel is almost crazy.
After all, "love makes you do crazy things".
Though we fear change,
Doesn't love cause us all to change?
We may change to suit our loved ones needs,
Or change just because of love itself.
Whether it be good or bad, change is inevitable.
Well, change itself isn't what we try to fight.
It's accepting that change,
Or accepting something that can't be changed.

So my question to my bloggers is:
Is it better to dive in,
At risk of drowning...
Or play it safe and remain on the secure and unchanging ground?
