Changing. Be it big, or small.

I used to think that changing ourselves would mean not being you and try changing into somebody else. You would lose the YOU in you and you would not have that aura or unique thing about you anymore.

The TODAY me thinks the YESTERDAY me was wrong, yet again.

In life, we constantly change. To keep going forward, we need to keep changing ourselves for the better.

I used to be afraid of changing myself. I had this weird feeling that if I change myself, I would not be me. And people will hate me for it. People will hate me for changing to be a different person. I had strange things in mind that I got afraid of changing to be someone new. When in fact, in order to be a better person we have to regularly make adjustment on ourselves.

Changing doesn't mean you switch yourself entirely to be a different person. It means modifying yourself for your own good. The purpose of changing is to improve ourselves to be the person we want to be.

In my circumstances, I have changed a lot. In fact, I'm still in the process of changing and will never stop. The people that I meet everyday slowly change me. Every obstacle that I've gone through has changed me. Being in IIUM has changed me. All those experiences have changed the way I think and see things. If I hadn't changed a single bit, I would still be the same person I was 5 years ago who was immature and who knew nothing about Linguistics or al-lughatul arabiah.

For us to always be in progress, we have to walk up the stairs. And see how we view the world in each and every step we take. See the difference of how we perceive things in different steps.
