**This would come at a time where I should be sleeping or studying for finals, but hey, such is life**
We are forever changing; nevertheless, through our growth there are some aspects about our character composition that should indeed be unchanging. There ought to be a creed that we decide to live by that frames our being and can be colored with the crayon of permanency. For me, that’s to be true to me and those who are in my life. We all vary in our makeup in which creates different personalities, drives, pleasures, and experiences, but we all need and long for one thing—the desire to feel whole. Where we search for those desires differ, but the need is all the same.
So in the same moments of finding out Osama bin Laden is dead, I begin to think what is going to change and what has changed about me. Everything has changed; even my character and my understanding of what is “right.” Yet my audacity and strength to remain true to myself has remained consistent. My love for people and gratefulness of my relationships has grown stronger and with more understanding. The only consistency that can remain in anyone or any group of people is his or its ability to stay honest and truthful to himself. We must accept change with the same strength and truthfulness we accept success. We must be consistent in not who we are, but more so in the truthfulness of reality our decisions create us to be.
