New beginnings, literature and "good" change

Hey there.
The last time I made a blog post was about 6 months ago...
And, well, not that much has happened since then. However, I had the opportunity to see my favourite singer perform live, something I've been wanting to do since 5 years ago. It was truly unbelievably amazing, it was a day I'll never ever forget.
I drifted apart from a couple of my close friends, but at the same time, I got to know more people. Like really well. I guess where there's an end, there's always a new beginning. It's just hard to tell whether the new chapter is worth it, whether it'll really be that much better or ever compensate for something you lost.
I've fallen in love with literature. Hemingway, Remarque, even Shakespeare - I've actually started just enjoying it all without the pressure of school or friends and family. If you would've told the child version of me that at the age of 15 I'd rather be cuddled in with a book and a cup of tea rather than having fun with my friends on weekends, I would've called you insane. But here I am! In fact, I'm going to the annual Book Fair of Lithuania tomorrow and I'm super excited. Ironically, I used to hate being dragged into such events a couple years ago... I guess change is inevitable.
Change is a strange thing, really. It's something you can't escape and it's hard telling whether it's something good or terrifying. I personally dislike change, at least people-wise. I hate it when a good friend becomes someone perhaps more focused and sophisticated, but at the same time colder and less caring. I hate seeing optimistic people become quiet and upset. But those examples are all quite negative. I guess I should really start opening up my eyes, broadening my horizons and realising that there is a lot of good change around us as well -  the weather getting warmer, a close friend becoming braver, more open, gaining more self confidence, understanding others better, or even getting a new pet. Major changes in our lives happen every day and, as difficult as change is, it actually can be very good.
So, there we have it. Just a little review of things I've started to realise this year. I've still got lots to learn and discover. Here's to an awesome 2015! :)
