Sometimes I am amazed at how quickly things change.
For the better most times. But change none the less.
Happiness, pain, heartache, joy, anticipation, anxiety, and most of all love. Moods change. People change. Times change. Relationships change. Places change.
With everything in a constant state of flux, where is a constant to grasp onto? Have you ever felt like you were floating, helpless against the tide of pop culture, societal moores, and impossibly high expectations? Have you ever felt like you weren't alive for the sake of living, alive not for your sake, but alive to satisfy the needs of others?
The masses are fickle, they tell me. I know so.
What changes more, you or the people around you? What came first, the chicken or the egg? Do you instigate change in society by first changing yourself, or does society first change you? Where does the change begin?
The ultimate question remains. Do you fight back against the tide? Do you try to maintain the norm? To status quo? Or do you accept the new norm and try to adapt to the pace of others?
Is it really possible to swim against the current and succeed?
How quickly everything changes. I guess it doesnt matter. God is my constant, Jesus Christ my foundation. It feels good to know THAT FACET of my life will always remain.
The world is tumultous. In the end, when the dust settles, I only hope that the hurt and pain caused by the whirlpool is gone. When will the dust settle?
Sometimes I am amazed at how quickly everything changes. But it does. I shouldnt be suprised anymore. Life goes on. I will live it.
