Change

Change is inevitable. It is as simple as that. Some change is for the better, and some would say that some is for the worst. Sometimes change is necessary and other times it seems to come without cause. And sometimes we change simply because we want to. Some moments, some spectacular moments, we wish change would just keep its distance. These moments could be compared to shooting stars. They’re moments of light that we lay all of our hopes, our dreams and our wishes on . . . but in the end they all have one thing in common, they’re spectacular moments of light, glimpses of a bright future . . . and in the blink of an eye, they’re gone.

My life has changed insurmountably since I stepped foot on Jangles last year and left home to sail the world. I’d like to say I’ve changed for the better . . . I think I’ve grown as a person, built up by my experiences. I’m certainly a different person than what I started out as . . . I’ve changed. Some changes for the better, some changes for the worst. Some were necessary changes and others without cause . . . but that’s how the story is meant to go, isn’t it? Our life is a metamorphosis . . . a transformation of oneself through experiences, through others, through change. Change finds us all, what we do with it is what defines us.

One thing you learn quickly whilst living on a boat is that plans always change. Wind changes, seas change and the course steered alters. Jangles went back on the water today and I can’t tell you where we are going as it will most likely change . . . we go where the wind takes us, we go where we want to go, we go where we need to go. So whatever lies ahead, I look forward to Jangles’ next journey.
