We Do Tend To Forget !
People change. True. But why?
I changed.. maybe
willingly ? But I’ve definitely been influenced into thinking that I wanted to
change myself. And am sure it is the case for many people. We do change to adapt
ourselves to situations, to people, to fit in places, etc.. Problem is, I don’t
understand why we have to change for these things? Why not be ourselves. Why
can’t people try and learn to accept us the way we are. And why do we have to
please them? Sometimes people change and
become more mature but they stay faithful to who they really are.
I had one friend who I deemed as close. We used to talk to each other a lot and all that. She was very innocent and lovely and she even admitted to that. But as time went on for like 2 years, a lot of our friends started noticing that she was changing a lot and not in how people change with time kinda way. We noticed she was forcing a change upon herself. She rid her self image of that good innocent girl and began to do stuff that wasn’t like her. It was hard on me and some of our friends and we just ended our friendship. Truth is, we accepted her the way she was but still she felt that need to change her personality. Am not judging or anything, who am I to do so? Am just trying to understand.
Fact is, I did change too and not in a good way. I mean I changed not to please myself but to please others. It’s always about pleasing others and putting them first. I do realise that it is somehow pathetic but as I stated at the beginning I’ve been tricked into thinking I wanted to change myself and along the way I just lost track of who I really was.

Nice new layout!! :)
ReplyDeleteNote that change is inevitable. It is in human nature to change and explore the 'other' side. (in which ever context.)You change accordingly to what is happening to you by each passing minute or second. And there are so many different ways to take it. But I'd rather make it and use it in the most positive way. Because, I believe that change is good. We need things happening in our lives; we need change. Change is another way to which we get another chance to learn and another opportunity to make things better. So don't worry about the 'why's but go explore and try new stuff. Be who you want to be and surprise yourself! You will be surprise of the amount of things out there that you don't know exist and that you might love doing or eating or watching. However, it is good to stick and remember where you are from and who you were but it doesn't mean that you can't try something different. So just be and don't be scared to be new sometimes.
Hope you are doing well champouinne!! Bisous xx
thankkk youu :D
ReplyDeleteand thanks for reading .. i totally agree with you. i haven't look at it through that angle :) and i guess maybe am one of those who are scared of changes? nyway thanks for the advice and yes i am fine (and its champine :p)..hahaha
bisous :)
i believe change is a good thing as long as you're going in the right direction and it makes you a better person, without trying so hard. you gotta understand that asking questions wont change anything. why not just go along with it and simply enjoy life.
ReplyDeletei didn't say its a bad thing,... its just that changing is sometimes scary and changing because you want to is better than changing because you are asked or influenced to. that's how in the end you do forget who you were and some people becomes fake :)
Deleteanyway thanks for reading :)
