Some brief thoughts on change...
Life changes. Ok, so I stated the obvious, but it's true and sometimes I forget to remember that small fact.
People change. That isn't always bad, nor always good, nor always holding any sort of intrinsic value. This includes me.
Situations change. Whether by time, conversation, action, etc., the way things were isn't always so.
Change changes. The pace that I am often used to in the changing of any of the above is not always constant. Sometimes things change faster, sometimes slower than I have anticipated.
Paradoxes often fall in the middle of change or bewteen the extremes that change tries to move between. The tension of life doesn't occur because things remain stagnant. The constant pull between two (or more) sides, opposites, calls, etc. is part of living, and the pull only happens when something starts to change.
I live in paradox, I need paradox, I despise paradox. I want to go back to the way things were (impossible, I know), but I want things to never be as they were or are at the same time. I wish for past and future.
My challenge? To remember the past, hope for the future, and desire the present.
