Change is when something is altered, when things become different that is when they have changed. Change is important because without change everything would remain the same making a dull life. But this life will not happen because change is inevitable. Even if your personality and ideas do not change (which will not happen) your body has to change and mature. Change can be a slow development over time or something that happens quickly. These changes can be small, like changing clothes, or big, like changing your opinion. No matter how small or big, all changes are important to who you are as a person. You may not even notice it but you are always changing. And the small changes that happen even when you’re unaware, can still dramatically change who you are. Sometimes the changes that happen can be forced upon you without consent. Like how your body grows. Or the changes can be something you choose and want to happen.
