"Time is a dressmaker specializing in alterations."
—Faith Baldwin
As I have known it is needed, I've learned to let my understanding be open to changes that inevitably happen every second. I know there is nothing else I can do except accept, accept, and accept the changes. What I do to be able to cope with those changes is treat them casually and understandingly. But the worst part is, not only things do change; people, especially the ones dear to me, do, too.
Honestly, I don't even know exactly how to begin this post. Many things give me signs that it should be the topic of my post now. Among these things that give me signs are what I am going through at this very moment. Another thing is a message sent by a former classmate of mine. Here is how the message goes:
There are many changes in life that we have to encounter.
We may not want them, but we should accept them,
either the hard way or the easy way.
I must confess I am having a hard time accepting that someone changes the way I don't like. I have known from the start that people are only transiently there, but it is like I know nothing of change when they start to be unlike what they were before.
People change has become my mantra. People change and transform into another persons, whether or not in the acceptable way. Sometimes, they are near you, but eventually draw far because life demands that they go far.
Some people get busy and are not able to keep in touch with you. Some people find others that replace you in their lives. Some see no more interest in you, and start to search for new talkers and companions. What can you do? Can you win in a bout with changes? People grow, and they decide on which path to take and which bridges to cross, regardless of your opinions about their decisions.
Being able to defend your relationship with others depends on the number of lives that cooperate in doing it. You cannot maintain friendship all by yourself. The strength to carry on against the obliterating changes can just be obtained when all are willing to fight for the sake of all.You just have to rely on your effective choice. This choice should be holding on when all else change. This choice should be staying decisive and willing to turn back the things changes stole from us. This choice should be pulling back leaving things and people even when they all seem to be gone with the wind.
Just wait and see. It is either they will go back or they will go forth...
