I've always thought of myself as a person who liked change. I easily become restless and look forward to the next big event in my life. I make big plans and get excited about following through with them.
But I was wrong, oh so very wrong.
The truth is I don't like change. Not one bit. Change is scary. Unexpected. Difficult. Unreliable. People only say change is good because they're trying to look on the bright side of something very terrible. I only like change when I can control it. I want to be able to see the exact outcome of the change before I get excited about it. If I don't know know how it's going to end, I don't want anything to change. How do I stop change from encroaching its sneaky self upon my life?
Maybe I can't control it. But I don't have to like it.

change is agreeable when you decide when and where it happens and what it consists of.
i have to say, though, that i'm as glad as hell that most of the changes i planned on never happened, and most of the ones that i despised and threw tantrums about did. of course, those tantrums always last for a few years before i bow to my fate... point is: i know how you feel.
I totally agree: I like change when I can control it.
I'm sure that you will be able to handle any changes that you encounter, even if they are scary/inconvenient/difficult. (Does this post about change have anything to do with your previous post and the German school?)
change is GOOD. especially when it is going overseas like YOU always wanted!! HELLO this is your DREAM job :P (except in germany, and not italy ;) )

To be alive is to experience change. You cannot escape it.
I feel the same way. It makes me really nervous and anxious. I blame it on being a complete control freak.
