Its funny isn't it, how people can change? How one day you can be crazy for country music, then you like rock the next. Or how you change you favorite color every time someone asks you what it is?
People are changlings.
We all go through many phases, every one diffrent then the last. We all grow older, wiser- and in time I beileve we learn to adapt to all kinds of situations. Maybe its our animal instincts. Maybe the ability to adapt is imbunned in our minds at birth. Or maybe its something we all have to learn to do on our own.
Have you ever felt very strongly about a certain topic? To the point that you beileve there is nothing in the world anyone can do to change the way you feel? If you have, then you know that it is hard to accept anything other than what you beileve. People can become oblivious to what they don't want to hear. Their arrogance clouds their minds from obvious truths. However, This initial stubbornness is a key part of change.
Change can only happen if you let it. You can't hope to be diffrent if you allways act the same, true, however if you are constantly undesided real changes can never happen. From experiance, I have found that it takes many points of veiw, many sides, many people to make an opinion change. So what then makes people change?
Is it possible for you to become like an entirely diffrent person?
A few years ago my grandmother got cancer. She had adopted me from my biological parents when I was very young and has raised me ever since. When she first started to get sick, I never thought about the possibility that she could die. It never crossed my mind that she would not be there in the morning when I woke up. I never realized how valuable the people I love trully are. I took them utterly for granted. But seeing her near-death experiance, I know that every moment spent with someone you love is one worth having. I beileve, in my heart of hearts, that I have trully changed for the better.
Since then, I have been going on a constant journey of self-growth. I have made it my mission to better myself and my understaning of people.
I want to change.
But still, I can feel those negative feelings. I still feel the hatred towards some people. Its been a habit that is hard to override. Sometimes it makes me wonder if i will ever get close to people. Or if I will allways be untrusting and cautious. But even so, I beileve people can change themselves if they are brave and unyeilding.
So it is then that we come out of our sweet caccoons to welcome the harsh realitys of the spring.
