Phases

Everybody goes through phases, it's a part of life. When we go through a phase, we enjoy being in that said phase, but when we change, we can't stand the previous phase.
So what is a phase? Well let me try to define it.
A phase is a period of time where something about you is a certain way. It can be anything, like appearance, interests, personality, daily routines, hobbies, activities, etc. etc. These characteristics are considered "normal" for us at the time being. The time in which said characteristics are current can vary dramatically, and ends when those characteristics change.
For example, say you do your hair in one way for a while, you like it that way, and keep it that way. Until you change your hairstyle because of a haircut or something like that. You now see that you like that hairstyle  a lot more than your old one. That is what we call phases.
Why do we go through phases though? I think it's a part of discovering yourself in new ways. When you change characteristics about yourself, it lets you see how other people and situations work with them,   ultimately leading to learning about yourself and enjoying an improved state of being.

These are my thoughts.
