Time For a Change?

I was recently talking to a friend about all the shit life has been throwing at me. I started to tell him how sometimes it feels like I'm not myself, because maybe if I changed things wouldn't seem so bad. I didn't want to change, I was just worried that it might happen. My friend told me "This might sound strange coming from me, but you're awesome! Don't ever change. Some people do need to change, but you're not one of them."
