Shadows

People

This is the hardest subject to come across. People are all different. I'm not talking about how God made everyone different an unique. People are different all of the time. The you that you are today is different from the you that you were yesterday, and different from the you that you will be tomorrow. It is a constant change. It is a change you can't quite adjust to. You can say one thing to your friend one day, but the next they will find it offensive. Just being alive changes you. You are thirty minutes older than you were thirty minutes ago. You experienced thirty more minutes that could have had some intense impact on you. Imagine looking back on a year. Most people couldn't recognize themselves from a year before. People change so much.

Some people have a hard time just being present. They are not exactly shy, but they can't be around too many people at a time. Then there are the people who are an open book. They tell you everything, even when you wish that they wouldn't. Some people can be a mixture of the two. You never know what your getting wrapped up in.

I am one of those changing people. We all are. It is the most unusual when you have such a drastic change so instantaneously. One day, I am a normal person, but the next I am crying because my two best friends are around me.

If is not easy to understand most of these changes. For my friends, or myself. It is like trying to find a light bulb in a pitch-black room. Not easy but when you find that one piece, that one piece, everything makes sense.

Many people find it hard in those rapidly changing situations. That is because they are trying to go back the way they came. They are trying to be the way they were before. The reason they are having such a hard time with it is because there is a reason that part is gone. Something about it didn't work out. You didn't fall into a hole by going on familiar territory. You fell into the hole going forward. It is destiny to lead on your path. Your journey awaits you, but you will keep moving until every part of you is satisfied.

Sometimes, people hit more snags in the road then others. Some people are able to handle more snags. Sometimes it's easy, but that's rare. Cherish any easy moments because they don't happen often. You are always wishing for it to go back to the simpler times.
