Change is Everything

Adjusting to the new conditions that I am faced with once again, (a new family; again), and a new job, and many new prospects waving hello to me right now in life; I have been faced with change so often, I find it almost normal for some routine that I've become accustomed to, to change. Sometimes, I find people think that change is difficult to handle, because it brings about new challenges and new obstacles. But, I suppose I embrace challenges and hardships better than some, because I enjoy change, actually I look forward to it. That may very well change someday (how ironic), because everyday things change slightly; we move forward each and every minute of our lives, and therefore change may very well take over my very being, and no longer have that connotation of positive and enjoyable. I find it rather funny that many students nowadays, are either very much adaptable to change, and actually find it boring sans-change, or they are the exact opposite: they enjoy falling into a pattern and doing the same thing everyday, so that no new hardships come their way. Actually, just today, I was in church, and the pastor spoke about inmates not wanting to embrace the change of being let out of the prison. So here's my quick question: is change a prison, in which we fear something becoming different and accelerating pain and suffering (or even the possibility of joy and happiness), or is it a paradise of sorts to where we can depart from the norm, and come to a new way of living or being?
