Change

Gandalf once answered "No, I can't promise you'll be back, and even if you do, you won't be the same." He was right! 

After sitting in solitude and relating Tolkien's "hobbit" to my own life, I interpreted what that line meant.

It's everyone's life. Their final challenge or big challenge in that point, is Smaug. Their life is the journey the company was on.

I was on a journey, to find myself, get back my courage,kill peer pressure, and learn ways to tackle this world! The journey was not easy, of course. Fear, Courage, Friendship, Love, Determination, Support, Hope, Ego, Narcissism, Skill, I-dont-care type of Mentality, Joy and Sadness were my 13 dwarf companions. And I achieved it! I stole the arkenstone and helped defeat smaug, and today I have gained it, a completely new attitude! A completely new me!

Yes, this journey has changed everything about me. It may have made me into a better person, but sometimes I look at myself and contemplate if this is who I was supposed to become. If this is what should define me and the old definition be completely scrapped. It is a question really tough to answer, for no person can live in static, everyone is dynamic, everything about them is dynamic and as one is dynamic, the whole world shifts to dynamic. 

Some things change for the better, some for the worse, either way, change is inevitable, change is necessary. For, a stagnant pool of water is what becomes a dead marsh.
