Change happens more than one would like to admit. While we want positive change in our government, schools, laws, and the whole world in general – as people we sometimes fight for change.
For Cherish change always meant she'd lose something. It wasn't always the loss of someone that triggered a change. One time Cherish had decided to camp outside in her own tent for the first time only to be woken up by many mosquito bites and insects near her that sparked a fear of creepy crawlers. There went her love for insects and camping under the stars.
Growing up Cherish hated having bright orange hair and freckles with colored eyes because people would say shes a ginger or just easily point her out. The year her hair started to get darker and she'd start applying the correct amount of sunscreen – Cher lost the bright orange hair and noticeable freckles.
Change was everywhere meaning it was unavoidable.
Change just meant someone is growing, for Cherish as a teenager that meant questioning if she truly embodied compersion. For a long time, that word had been part of her identity and yet when it came to relationships she thought she knew what love was supposed to feel like.
If she was wrong about one thing who was to say she wasn't wrong about a label she'd been given at such a young age because she didn't understand jealousy.
There were so many things that were changing about Cherish – drastic and little. Yet one thing that had yet to change was standing up for her friends.
Having left with Eagle Fang and taking Hawk to the hospital in Johnny's car Cherish didn't know where she stood within her dojos. But Cherish wasn't going to let some feud take her safe fighting space away from her.
Walking to the back of Miyagi-do Cherish held tightly to her bag and seeing everyone doing random exercises as had yet to start she makes her presence known with a simple, "Hey"
"You're back!" Demetri exclaims happy to see her and not just because her presence stopped Sam from angrily hitting the punching bag he was holding
Playing with the straps of her bag Cherish asks, "If that's okay?"
