I would rather change drastically every day even if I became someone I didn't like, than to always be caught in one place.
This isn't so much from me becoming someone I don't like, but from changing -- apparently, one of the guard girls told Karleigh, who's my best friend at HHS, that she (Karleigh) is changing me. I don't know whether that's a negative or a positive.
I just think that it's important to always be growing and changing, even if it's not noticeable. And sometimes people don't change at the same rate and they go in different directions and sometimes people are changing and you can't tell, and all of that is how I feel about some of my HHS friends.
That actually wasn't what I was trying to get at. Let's go through it again...
I think that that's a really impressive ability, to change people. What is more remarkable than being able to have an effect on a person, to help create this beautifully complicated thing that a human is? To be part of shaping a personality, a soul even, is like giving birth almost, but it's so much simpler. You can share that with many people. That's why I respect people who are nasty and cruel -- they help shape you.
Am I sounding a little silly? I think so. But I think it's an amazing thing to be able to change people.
