Thoughts on Change
So I was sitting around being all philosophical as I am when I'm bored, and I was thinking about all the changes that have happened over the past few months. As I was thinking about this, all of a sudden I began to wonder if these changes were positive or negative, progress or set-backs, new beginnings or endings.
How can we tell?
There are so many things we look over, don't see at all, or misinterpret. Can any person ever figure out how change affects us? Really, although something bad might happen, how many good things or more bad things come from it?
About a year and a half ago, I had a huge fight with a friend Ive had since I was about 8. It seemed like everything was just over. Well about 10 months later we started talking, and now we talk about almost everything. At the time one looks at it as bad change, but how would I have ever known that far in advance without speaking once in the meanwhile, that we would become friends again.
A friend of mine had being almost on, than off with the guy she liked for 2 and a half years. It was so much drama and angst that it seemed pointless and just a bad path. As soon as things started to head uphill in the least, it seemed as a boulder would roll them over and bring it back to the bottom. Just a few days ago they hit it off and as soon as her guy gets back from a mountain vacation they're going to be a couple. So for 2.5 YEARS it was absolute misery and drama that seemed fruitless. But now a happy ending?
How would she have ever known?
Of course both of these seem to be great outcomes. It would be difficuly to argue against progress here.
Of course there are those friends we lose along the way. The broken hearts. The lonely nights, but I believe this to all be steps fioreward to out next big change.
Remember You have your friends who will lay down they're new chanelle bag or hightops for you and everyone has at least on of these people.
"A man may feel on top of the world, but 12 hours later he's at the bottom. Another 12 and hes at the top again"
I'm not quite sure who quoted this but I adore it. Life is a cycle and if you seem to be at the bottom longer than your designated time, it might just feel like Winter in the land of the midnightsun(almost 24 hours of darkness) but summer will come soon.
