change happens over time. we never really notice when we start to think a different way, never really see it when we become more mature, more jaded, more aware, whatever....right? well, actually thats not always true, but sometimes we dont notice it when we do see change. how messed up is that? seriously, think about it. have you honestly never started to answer with one opinion only to stop and revise it a little as you realize that what you were about to say no longer applies? well, if not i dont believe you. im not saying you noticed it, but i guarantee you it happened. maybe you have changed, or the way you see yourself has changed, or maybe what you know the other person wants to hear has changed. self-image changes frequently, and sometimes we dont like the changes, even if we know its true.
but you know what we dont realize? out images in the eys of others change, too. but we cant affect it. we can act or speak or pretend to be a certain thing, but they will think precisely what they want. we cant change that, and why would we want to? i personally wouldnt want to associate with someone who was constantly trying to change me, make me different.but thats just me. ok im done, thats all
