"I watch the ripples change their size, but never leave the stream"
why i have i not changed?
i mean, i change my underwear (but not my pants).
but my "me"has changed very little.
reading my old journals, remembering my childhood...
i am still that girl, in the field, flicking bugs off flowers, singing to herself and consoction wild and elaborate schemes that will never materialize.
that's me.
always.
what has forced me to think about change, is my peeking around at old friends and people i used to know...and i don't know them at all anymore.
i think once you know me, you ALWAYS know me.
and i think it's sad, that these people who used to be so magical and unique, people i was certain would never fall to the side of the drones...have become boring and plain.
their spark is gone.
they do what is expected....what is safe.
and it made me sad today.
i understand that people change.
and that's the way it SHOULD be.
you experience things
process them
and incorperate them, or the things you learned from them
into who you are.
but incorperate is not the same as replace.
i don't understand things, i guess..
i don't understand how people can be so passionate about things and then just let them go.
my mom used to be a huge environmentlist hippy...
now she doesn't even recycle..
it's the things like that...
or the"i love it becasue they love it"
mentality that gets me.
i just wish i was capable of understanding these things....
