An Ironic Life Lesson # 2
You can go your whole life being told the same things over and over again. Still, sometimes you never really understand them until you experience something on your own. When i was 17, someone told me "from now until you're about 25, you're going to do nothing but change -- one day you might be a completely different person." It's funny to me, b/c i remember that moment in great detail. I also remember thinking "i've already developed into who i am and who i'm gonna be." In restrospect, i realize that he was right. In nearly 5 years, i've changed so much as a person and still am.
"Nothing truly stays the same."
Of course a lot of things/people DON'T change, but to me it seems that overall nothing really stays the same. The world changes, fad and style changes, people can change. Nothing really lasts.
It makes me wonder if i'll ever be able to committ to anything and especially anyone. People change their direction in life, people get bored, people fall in and out of love easier than some think.
Friends that you once said were your "Best Friend Forever" can become a friend that you inadvertently not speak to for a month that can grow into a year. Or worse, years of building a binding friendship can just as quickly become an absence of friendship over a disagreement, miscommunication, pride, or just by feeling too lazy to "fix" things. It's a somber reality. There are people that I, myself, no longer talk to. The truth is, i think about them. I think about them a lot. I miss them too. But sometimes there's a point where you just have to let go, let things happen naturally and not force the issue. And sometimes that's where it ends.
