A little voice that makes him laugh is the voice that makes her grit her teeth and furrow her brow. Why is it always someone who loves us who is giving us the most hurtful criticisms. Saying, “No” or “Stop” to an action or the way in which you express yourself. When we fly the coop and settle in somewhere where we can breathe and feel free to express ourselves in the way we want, why do those whom we’ve left behind feel threatened? Sometimes, okay, often times, we feel we know what is best for someone and we try to tell them what is them and what is not, but we forget the power of change and adaptation. Is it because we see loved ones in one specific way and when they stray from the character their cast in our play of life? The truth is, you cannot change the way in which people changes themselves, and you shouldn’t. We need to say yes to the non-traditional and the extreme. What isn’t run of the mill may turn into some terrific pathway towards growth and creative life. We rediscover ourselves daily, through art, media, relationships etc… but when others have a shift or change due to one of these outlets, why must we always call it a bluff. If we ourselves believe that we’re capable of change why not believe in others’ ability to evolve and the release that cause that transformation.
