People I once knew, have now become complete strangers to me. Am I the only one that hasn't really changed? Maybe I was the only one not wearing a mask in the first place.
im actually noticing the same things. i just think maybe people get older and find out more what they want and with that comes change. i dont know i try to understand it too but it just doesnt seem to work. all i can say is that it sucks!
I think you're partially right. Along the lines of getting older, I think it's more of an experience, rather than a natural progression like age. I think we observe and experience situations that make us see things differently, and it narrows the scope of the things that are important to us. I know a lot of people who get older, but don't "grow", for lack of a better term, like I described above.
But, I disagree with the part about it sucking. I love experiencing new things, and learning from them. I enjoy the thought of getting older sometimes... and knowing that I'm going to learn more and more as my years progress. I think of my Mom and want to be just as strong and independant as she is. I think of my Dima and I hope and pray that I will be as intelligent and wise and learned about so many different things. So, I don't think it sucks. That's just me though.
i should have been more clear on what i meant...when i said it sucked i meant more the friendships that grow apart. the distance that grows between friends, i mean yes you meet new people and new friends but it sucks when you drift away from old friends. i also love to learn new things and to experience new things that change me as a person.
Oh I definitely agree with you that change is good. I'm just speaking of people that you once knew, that even you still talk to.. but when they grow, they just change and become this copmletely horrible person. At least that's what made me write this entry.. In that sense it's sad.. Like someone that once meant a lot to you, has changed so much, that they just aren't that person anymore. I agree that growing is a good thing.
