on my mind
you, as an individual, change more from day to day and month to month than everybody else. this is true for everyone. some things about you will never change, some things will inevitably change despite your most violent protests. at any given point in your life, there is a set of objects, places, activities, and people that make you happy or help you do the things that you want to do. when you change, these things change along with you. if you change and leave a place, you may come back, or you may never return. if you stop doing something, you may pick it up again a year later, or replace it with something else. if a personal relationship ends, or changes, it may be what it once was, once more, or it may lapse out of your life. all these things are normal and all these things are good. to fight against them, to fail to acknowledge your constant flux and the accompanying change in the things with which your surround yourself is a lie that will only bring pain and unhappiness. or so i think i’ve figured out after almost 22 years.
