A lot of things have changed in my life recently. New house, new job, new relationship status. I've noticed, that in the midst of these changes, some of the people around me have changed as well.
It's natural to change. If we stayed the same our entire lives and didn't let situations and/or shape us, we'd be pretty boring, one-dimensional folks.
So if change is a natural, essential part of life, why is so hard to accept when someone you're close to changes? I guess I selfishly want the people in my life to stay the same, to be the old familiar friends that I've grown accustomed to. But I've come to learn that sometimes that's just not possible, and sometimes the changes that take place aren't going to be changes for the better.
This reminds me of a lyric from a Marc Broussard (spelling?) song, called "Gavin's Song." It says...
"I wish you places that sit so still,
Where people never ever change,
And never ever will."
I guess I was trying to live in that "place" where people don't change. I'm starting to think that place just doesn't exist.
