Change.
There are different kinds of change when it comes to people. Some people change for the better, some people change for the worst. Some people go from doing really bad, to betterig themselves--they may not do a complete 360 ( or 180 perhaps), but some learn from their mistakes, and grow from that. But can people change? Like, truly change? In the words of B. Davis, "well, I'd like to say yes, but honestly...I don't think people can change. I mean, at the end of the day, you are who you are, and that's probably who you've always been". I'd have to agree with B. Davis on that one. As far as people changing for the worst, Im not perticularly trying to compare one with the devil, but a person can allow someone or something mold them into someone they're not, and probably were never destined to be. It's really disappointing to know someone, and some time later, not know them due to their sporatic change and feeling the need to impress certain people and to adjust to their likings. Kind of disturbing, especially because you've known this person for so many years---well, the person that they use to be. Who is this new person? Hell, bet that person doesn't even know! It's one thing to try and find yourself, it's another when you're trying to find someone else within yourself. Also, I understand people change, as far as their likings. Like, you may not love Chocolate anymore, or a singer that use to be your favorite, isn't quite your favorite anymore, shit, you might have ben gotten tired and bored of the color green! It happens, we evolve, take different approaches in likings...but that's because WE want to...not because of someone else. I was going to get to a main point in this whole train of thought, but I decided not to, because I don't really need to. In the words of Monica, "I just wanna go back to being the same..." Don't let your pride get in the
way of something that was great, and can only escalate to a higher plateau (at least wishfully thinking). But if we're only allowed those fond memories, then, good times, good
times.

Though, I can't forget, the birthday of my late friend Quin. She would have been 23 years old today. I miss her tons. RIP Smeech aKa Shalah aKa "Pimp Juice". Much love to the Snead, Morgan, and Douglas family. Also, to her extended family, friends, everyone in LG, and Jeremy, who loved her dearly as well. People, please try and refrain from driving drunk, and please be very aware while driving. We don't need to lose another young, beautiful human being.
