Some things never change
And some things do.
It is all a matter of what you want to change and what you want to keep the same. If you really want it then you pull the trigger despite your fears of the unknown and the possibility of facing pain because no pain that awaits on the other side over weighs the pain you feel from knowing that you're still in the same place you were before and it was all a choice made by you.
Determining what can and cannot be changed is a lifelong pursuit. Certain objects topple over with a tap while others don't budge no matter how much blood, sweat, and tears you pour into generating some kind of movement
..
But the truth is that very rarely does something fall into the latter. The biggest obstacle to change is not external, it is internal. A combination of hoping for the impossible and chasing delusions combined with a poor ability to assess the value of something... that is viewing liabilities as assets and assets as liabilities or demonizing plagues due to unbending, baseless ideals is ultimately what dooms many to a life of eternal struggle and frustration towards life for being so unfair and not adapting to how they want to play the game versus them adapting to how the game is actually played.
Not to say one way of living is better or worse than another. Life as a whole is ultimately a beautiful, disgusting experience because we all share the universal truths of pain and pleasure, respectively, no matter how we live just in different forms.

Ben!! I'm going to Korea this summer!
@be_lie -
What are you doing in Korea?
And I'm still trying to figure out whether you telling me of your going to Korea for the summer is racist in nature....
@Ironstove - LOL.
Everyone I know who's Korean and have gone back a few times went back either last year or the year before
:(
Internship with POSCO and study abroad!! Im in Incheon. Wooooo. What should I buy? Also some ajumma ripped me off yesterday on earrings! Overcharged me and only gave me one earring instead of a pair. -___________- so hurt.
@be_lie - I am about as useful in informing you about the things to do in Korea as I expect you would be at informing me of the things to do in Bangkok, Thailand.
Next time someone rips you off in Korea, flip them off and spit in their face. People in Korea aren't acquainted with American culture so they won't understand what you're saying and just brush you off as being weird. Real talk.
@be_lie - also when are you going to come visit Cali???
@Ironstove - $$$$$4
