My whole life has been presented to a single element called change. Change occurs in many different forms and is carried out in many different ways. However, just recently, I have come to the realization that change can be the deepest of all subjects. I always assumed that change occurred when you moved to a new town or when you lose someone close to you. Those are elements to change, yes, but change doesn’t have to occur over a single dramatic event.
It can just happen overnight when your brain determines it’s time to do something different. I never thought that I was going to change. You can’t ignore change, and you have to allow for that change and compensate for it, and sometime you overcompensate for that change in life. Like, my life changed when I first started school, or I got my first A in a class. It all changes your perspective of the world around you. In my life, and probably everybody’s, there are the little changes, and then there are the big ones.
A couple of the big ones for me would have to be the change from high school to college, and the other one is the death of my grandmother. They both have effected me. This is the way that I go about life. For obvious reasons, people reject change. Especially people who are close to each other because they feel that this change is going to separate them and make them not as close as they used to be.
They fight the change until they force the person to change. It’s sad how this works, but in reality, it’s probably the single most reason why people change. The people we love, love us so much that they want us to remain the same forever. Forever is a long time and not one person can always stay the same. Sometimes if the people we love would just accept the change and go with it, they would understand where the change was originally coming from. It’s dangerous to try to stop change and argue against it, especially if the person wants to change so much.
The reason that somebody wants to change is usually not their choice, but a feeling that the person feels inside their head and heart. It’s almost like a celestial force is making you change and you have no say in the matter, but you know you have to because your mental and physical attributes are commanding you to. Maybe the change isn’t the best change, but if you dig deeper, the person that you love and know isn’t really changing, they are just trying to find themselves and the one thing they need the most is the support of the people who they care about the most. When the people they care about the most dismiss their change as something unimportant and try to guard down everything by rules and regulations, the person they loved begins to change out of sadness that the one group of people he or she thought would understand, really has no clue. Maybe change isn’t always good or bad, like I was saying before, but it could be looked at as something to help you grow.
So just remember. If someone is changing, be there for them, offer your opinion but help them go through whatever they need to go through because they will do what they need to do regardless of the people that they really do love.
