I told a friend that things have changed in my life since I came to the UK. She said that was not in line with the statement I made when I set up this blog (I am well chuffed that somebody, apart from Johannes, actually read my blog!).
I had claimed that the only thing that has changed was the setting (in this case country) and that I was the very same person today as two years ago. Now I have changed that statement in the top-frame and I am also explaining it further here.
I know that I have changed a lot, and I am not sure if I like all the changes - even though I like most of them. When I studied journalism, one of my tutors said to me that values you strongly believe in now will very likely change as you get older. What I thought when she said that was something similar to "No way!".
She was right.
About change itself then. I believe that the change I experience is sometimes perceived greater by me than people around me. In some instances I guess it is perceived greater by people around me. Finally, some people probably do not notice anything as you only meet them for a very brief moment.
Another description for change could possibly be personal development. Maybe that sounds more positive?
Compared to one year ago I believe I am:
Not as cynical (Yeah, right)
More determined (I will get there!)
More positive (not that I have ever been negative, but now nothing is impossible)
Better in trusting myself and God

You've obviously changed in to someone, somewhat wiser. The process of change is, in retrospective, something positive. I feel though, that when you're in the middle of it (probably always), it could be either painfully tough or passing swiftly and you'll probably never notice it until years later. I'm in the metamorphosic phase of turning from a motivated student into a slacker with the aim just to ski as much as possible... You could say I haven't really changed since the age of five. Still wanna play in the snow. The touristic guidings of Borat was a hit. Haven't laughed that hard in weeks.
