Change – We're Supposed To by Adeline Atlas
May 14, 2025
Welcome to School of Soul! I'm Adeline Atlas, the author of the School of Soul Series, a six-time published author, master manifestor, and your cheerleader bestie on the internet! Today, I want to explore a simple yet profound message: 'You've changed.' And the response: 'We're supposed to.' Let’s dive into why change is not just inevitable but necessary, and how embracing it can lead to our greatest transformations.
"‘You’ve changed.’ How often have you heard those words? And usually, they’re said with a hint of criticism or surprise, as if change were something to be ashamed of or something to avoid. But I love the response: 'We’re supposed to.'
This interaction between a caterpillar and a butterfly is a beautiful metaphor for our own lives. The caterpillar says, 'You've changed,' and the butterfly simply responds, 'We're supposed to.'
Think about that for a moment. Change is the very essence of life. Just like the caterpillar is destined to transform into a butterfly, we, too, are meant to evolve, to grow, to become different versions of ourselves over time. It’s not just expected; it’s necessary.
Change is what moves us forward. It’s what allows us to break free from the cocoon of our comfort zones and soar into new possibilities. It’s what helps us shed old habits, beliefs, and identities that no longer serve us, making space for new growth, new opportunities, and new experiences.
Yet, why do we resist change? Why do we feel so uncomfortable when we or those around us begin to evolve? Often, it’s because change brings the unknown. It can feel unsettling, uncertain, and even scary. But what if we shifted our perspective on change?
Instead of seeing change as something to fear or resist, what if we saw it as an invitation to become more of who we are meant to be? What if we embraced it as a necessary step in our journey, just like the caterpillar embraces its transformation into a butterfly?
We must recognize that change is not only natural but also a sign of growth. It's a sign that we are alive, that we are expanding, and that we are actively participating in our own evolution.
So, the next time someone tells you, 'You've changed,' take it as a compliment. Smile and say, 'Yes, I have. And I’m supposed to.'
Embrace the transformation. Trust the process. Allow yourself to become the butterfly you are meant to be, with all the colors, beauty, and freedom that comes with it.
Remember, you’re not here to stay the same. You’re here to grow, to evolve, and to continuously become the fullest expression of who you are. And that means change—constant, beautiful, and necessary change.
