Sometimes I wonder how difficult it is to understand our own selves, what we like or dislike, what we want to do, what we want to eat, be it anything, it feels like everything’s on shuffle. The only thing constant is CHANGE. Sometimes we feel all at once and the other moment we feel nothing at all. And this being said we are suppose to commit or expect people to commit, be it friendship or love.
People change every now and then. Some or the other thing ignites that change in them. What are we supposed to do? Accept it? But what if they are not the same person anymore or not even close. It’s like starting with a new person all over again, starting to understand their new likes and dislikes, their new moods, their new priorities, and then just before we start to accept this new version there’s another change and maybe it’s us this time.
May be its growing up or any major achievement/failure or may be some gloomy episode, whatsoever it maybe, we expect people around us to be supportive, to understand and stick. But when the tables turn why do we end up saying “he/she isn’t the same anymore”. Nothing remains the same, not even the surrounding, leave alone people. But then the question remains. In this inconstant life how can we keep some special ones constant or we ourselves be constant to someone?
There’s another phrase we all hear quite often, “your priorities have changed”, yes indeed they have, In fact they should over time, and if they don’t then there’s some serious growing up needed. My priorities as a kid were chocolates and teddy bears; therefore we simply cannot have constant priorities.
Accepting all these changing priorities and everything is difficult because we commit to the present and not the future. We realize the change in the other person with no effort, but never even try to screen our own selves. Change is that one extra cookie that needs to be shared equally, no matter how dark.
