Sometimes change is a function of time - it just so happens.
Other times, change is due to the things we cant control - like the economy.
Some of us embrace change with open arms.
Some of us resist change with a passion.
Change is an inevitable part of our lives.
How we deal with it makes us inspirational.

I start this blog on the 30th of January 2009. In the days leading to this, I have openly admitted to my loved ones that I am sick of my life. In fact, if I were to admit it openly, I have been sick of my life for a very long time. How can I tell you this without sounding grumpy, negative and ungrateful?
I graduated with a doctorate from one of the top Universities in Sydney, Australia by the age of 25. That made me one of the youngest graduates in the school. In the years that I was completing my doctorate, I often get the feeling of frustration, which I was told, was normal for a Ph.D. student. When I completed my doctorate, I thought the feeling would go away. Well, three jobs later, I am still feeling largely frustrated. This time though, I can safely pinpoint that it is because I am lacking something - and I am searching for that something until I get it. I may not know what it is, let alone articulate it, but I know it is out there and I will find it.
It is often said that what you should do with your life is really something that you enjoy doing. I like writing so I blog. I like listening to people's stories so if you have a story, please email me at changedoeshappen AT gmail DOT com. (I have to write the email address that way to prevent unwanted spammers.) If you do write me a story, I may post it on this blog. And I will change your name to protect your identity - unless of course, you want to be identified.
Yes, you can write about anything - the changes in your life you like, you dislike, the changes in someone else's life that you like, dislike, love, hate. Anything that involves change in it is welcome. It does not have to be a major change either, it can be minor little things. What I am looking for is how you cope with the change. If we share our stories, we can help others to cope with the changes in their lives.
Come to think of it, this blog is my first step towards changing my life. Well, one step closer to something.
