Does change make the world go round?

If it does, please let me get off and stay forever right here.
I have never liked change. My husband's not too crazy about it, but our daughter lives for changes. (Where did she get that?)
She said when they retire, she would love to live on a cruise ship permanently and travel all over the world. The thought of that horrifies me!
When she was young, I never knew how her bedroom furniture was going to be arranged when I came in from work.
I like to take trips, but I like coming home better. Vacations are wonderful and I love eating in a new restaurant or even just riding along roads we haven't been on before. But I always want home to come home to.
One of the reason I don't like change is partly because I grew up in the military and I hated always being the new kid in school. I wasn't outgoing and was rather shy, so I was pretty much invisible.
I like to buy new things for the house, but I like to leave the furniture where it is, even it I'm replacing it with a new piece of furniture.
Are you like my daughter and live for change, or are you like me and need familiarity and stability?
Or are you somewhere in between?

I'm like you and will always be, no matter how far or high or beautiful the nature or place may be, I will always return home.

@1creekgirl I am into new things, my friend. Even if I don't have the new things as long as I know how they function.

I like a routine to be able to stick to and I work much better like that.
Changes are inevitable sometimes and we cannot get away from them.
I like being at home but also to go places as much as I can.

@1creekgirl
Without making a routine for myself I would not get things done properly so I keep to it all I can but of course I change things around a bit as well.
Thanks.

I love change. I get bored when things are the same thing over and over again. I live for change. I always want to have a regular change in lifestyle a change in status, changes in routines

I'm a homebody and although it sounds adventurous to live on a cruise ship it wouldn't be for me. I like solid ground

I don't even want to go on a short cruise, much less live on one!

I am somewhere in between, I like change, we move between our two main homes every year and then spend more time at our lake house, To me home is where my family is and as long as I have them I am fine.

That's a good way to look at it. You're right, I would choose being with our kids over being in a particular house.

I think I'm a little bit of both. I like familiarity and stability for sure, but I do like a change in environment and setting every now and then. Makes my life more interesting.

It would be boring if nothing ever changed at all.

I know change has to happen at times, but for you and me, the less often, the better.

@1creekgirl yes. Not everything needs changing either.

Nice photo! Hard question. I like positive, planned changes and nice surprises.... but I don't like anything too out of the ordinary, either

I usually prefer a routine in my life. Too much change makes me stressed and out of sorts.

Not everyone likes change, but we're all different.

Yes, it's true. Different people have different views and desires. (Maybe the word 'desire' is not appropriate here.)

I think, I like your style and a bit of style of your daughter.

I hate change. It stresses me out and causes me extreme anxiety. My partner also does not like change. He moved around a lot when he was little too. (I grew up in one place but lived in an unstable environment.) I like familiarity and stability.

I am not fond of change if I am happy with the way things are. I am happy where I live. The idea of moving does not please me. Growing and improving makes me happy.

@1creekgirl I know life would stagnate without change, but I mostly wish things would stay the same.

I feel the same. I like a little excitement, but nothing life changing.
