Philosophers on personal identity say that as you change you don't remain the same person, and as I look through pictures on my facebook from last year up til now...fuck, I've changed sooo much. Mostly my views on the world and my taste in music but that's a huge reflection of who I am now and what I was then. I loved who I was at the time but I'm even more satisfied with who I am now. I love that I'm not naive to the outside world and how I'm apart of it. I take great pride in knowing that I'm not living blindly and yes, I look down upon those who do. This comes from meeting new people and experiencing new things. My life as it is, is perfect, or as perfect as things can get. I can only image how I will change more in the future, but I hope it's for the best.
But like anything, things stay the same. My present friendships with people haven't changed which it easily could've what with me changing and I'm thankful for that. That nasty transition into life called high school was proof of just how friendships can fall apart due to change and I'm thankful Tracy has stayed in my life. I'm not even sure if she is aware of the transformation I'm going through but I'm glad she's in my life.
I'm also amazed at how I can meet someone who's views and position in life fit me so perfectly. Ed's helped me see the world through open eyes and introduced me to some amazing experiences that I will never forget. We're getting closer every day and I'm so thankful to find someone like that. As I continue to change, I hope that my changes occurs with him and for the better.
Now...am I the same person I was last year? I don't know. Philosophy has fucked up my rational thinking haha. But does it really matter anyway, since I'm unbelievably happy?
