Rolling With The Punches Change is something everyone has to deal with whether we like them or not. Whether it is a big noticeable one, or a smaller one everything and everyone changes.

I stopped talking to and hanging out with those people. I changed how I looked at people and how I looked at my relationships with them and I wasn’t faced with being used like I was before. I started talking to less people, started worrying more about school and
