It makes me sad to think about our loss of innocence as we grow older. I know it happens to all of us as individuals, and though it may not be a discomfort to you yourself, i hate watching other people that i love grow out of their innocent selves.
I guess maybe innocence isn't the best word. There's a difference between growing up, and losing that good-natured part of you. And that's the part I'm talking about.
I mostly thought of this when thinking about eric now, and how much he's changed over the entire year of us dating. He had very high strong morals when I met him, and he was a very solid, strong kid. Very polite, very smart and well-structured and well-raised. I feel like he lost a lot of that innocence since we started dating. It's not like I corrupted him or I'm responsible for the person he is today, but you change as a person when you become so close with someone. In that aspect, I've changed a lot too in his eyes... Its just something to think about. He's very outgoing, very lively. Doing all the things that make him happy. Basically I would have never known who he used to be by his character now. He's in a whole different world. It's almost like now he's just a regular college boy... thinks about sex, drinking, gaming, etc. Except I always thought he'd be different.
It's something to think about once in awhile...
