When someone says you have changed it means you have not stood still, in some way you have chosen to move. What change you have made, good or bad, is a matter of perspective, either your own or the other person's.
Change is about moving. Change is about making decisions. Change is about not doing what has been done before. Change is always positive, even if it leads in a different direction then we believe it should, because change is about doing something rather than doing nothing at all. Change is creation in action, the making of something new or different.
If someone decides you have changed, it is up to them to decide what they want to do. Some people may decide the change is an improvement, cheering and supporting as you make more changes. They may even make changes in their own life based on your example or direction. Other people may decide if you aren't going to continue your life as they think you should, they can no longer approve of your choices or be your friend. Some may feel it is better to sever ties than deal with their own feelings of not being more like you. Whatever someone else decides, allow them to make the change they feel they must. Just as change is important for you, the change they decide to make may be just important for them at the time.
So go ahead and change. Make changes which make you feel good. Make a change that brings a new result. Make a change that moves you closer to a dream. Make a change only you can make. Live your life your way not the way someone else thinks you should.
