The best thing about everything is change. For better or for worse (hopefully for the better), You will and have changed over the course of your life. People around you, they have changed. Your friends have either changed or they have changed. Even your parents are not the same anymore, they have grown older, wiser, hopefully you have too. Your environment has changed. Climate has changed. Buildings you knew are not the same, old ones are gone or degraded, new ones have come up.
Is it good or is it bad? Change just is. It is you who gives it meaning.
So, what meaning should you give? Some situations will demand a bad assessment but hopefully that assessment leads to change. You learn from it, you make the changes, you are now a changed person. Was it all bad? In hindsight, it will all be good, especially if you made the changes that were required of you. Bad will change to good.
No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.
