We’ve all had the urge to change ourselves, whether that be our internal mind or our physical appearance. Society makes us feel like we have to look and act a certain way in order to fit in, but the truth is we are perfect as we are. However, if there’s a change we want, we should do it for our own selves and not for other people. Nick de la Hoyde’s single, “Don’t Go Changing” is about finding someone so unique and hoping they never change for anyone but themselves. This is a song everyone can relate to and feel motivated by. We have to remember that change can be good but not for the sake of others. It should be for our own benefit because that’s what makes it worth it. Having that reminder is important because we sometimes feel like we have to change to be accepted. Learning to ignore other people’s opinions of us will make us feel much happier.
