People Change
Sometimes.
There are times I’m not so happy with change and I find that mostly occurs when I look at the people around me. I get it. People change. I’ve changed. You’ve changed. Everyone has changed. Life does that to a person. But sometimes, I see the changes in the people around me and it makes me a bit sad inside because those changes aren’t good. Some of them, in fact, are down right ugly.
Sometimes people turn into these twisted, bitter shells of themselves. Sometimes they get a taste of success and the person they used to be can no longer be found. Sometimes people draw themselves in and become a self-absorbed jerk. Sometimes - sometimes people change so much you can no longer see the person you first met. That’s when it gets sad, really sad.
But since I know people change and since I know people can come back from that not-so-good changing path they have taken, I try to convince myself to stay. To keep on being there in the moments of selfishness when they turn to me and need something. To allow for the “life factor” that plays such a huge role in people changing.
And sometimes I’m bad at that. Sometimes I’m not great at always being there because when people are jerks to me, I tend to get a little bit peevish about it. But I’m trying. I’m trying and that’s what counts.
