familiar is relative.
and change is not bad--what is hard to deal with (at any age) is change forced upon us.

No one minds quitting a job, when they have a better one lined up.

No one relished being fired -unexpectedly.

chosing to move is a good thing--and can be envigerating.
being forced to relocate, (because you can't keep up the old place, or because its been destroyed, (fire, flood, whatever))is devestating.

most of us like change..when we have some control over the change.
no one wants to wear the same clothes everyday. or eat the same food. what we want is choice. what we dislike is imposed (choiceless) change.
