Today I was talking to a friend of mine whom I haven't spoken with in a while. We tend to speak sporadically, and today was a sporadic day I suppose. Anyway, he was telling me about how well he knew me, and that he'd always know me really well. I told him that I had changed a lot and that I probably wasn't the same person he knew a year ago. He told me that I was wrong, and that deep down I was still the same girl. I would love to believe that, but I just don't think it's true.
Change is the essence of life, and I can tell you that I am not the same girl I was a year, or two years, or three years (etc.) ago. Don't get me wrong, there are certain aspects of your being that will never change, and make you, inherently, you. I just think that thinking you know another person on a deep, personal level when you haven't really had much contact with them in recent months is an awful assumption to make. I guess it just kind of set me off because I know all the changes that I've been through in the past year and a half or so since this friend and I had stopped talking regularly. Hmmm oh well.
I am going to be late for my Western Civ II class today, I know it.
