change.
1 word, 1 sylable, 5 letters.
but very, very important.
human beings revolve around it.
animals revolve around it.
the whole wide world revolves around it.
but nobody notices it.
that is,
until it's too late.
change.
the word that makes, or breaks, relationships.
the word that draws the line between love and hate.
the thing that is insignificant,
but play a gigantic part to our lives.
and no one bothers abt it.
or do we?
we realise that change is what's going on all the time,
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, and for eternity.
and yet nobody really sees it as important.
change.
sometimes doesn't come the way we want it too.
we never know how or when it wil come,
or whether its for the better or worst.
people change.
and we hate it.
cos we're not used to the way they're behaving.
friends.
we thought we knew them.
inside and out.
but then change comes,
and suddenly,
we feel betrayed.
for we don't like the "new" friend that's here.
and you want them to change back.
but more often than not,
the person that changes is you.
the person that needs changing is you.
we have to change our mindset on changes.
something that doesn't seem good at first might seem a whole load better after looking at it from another angle.
changing our mindsets:
something so simple to do,
yet people don't wanna do it.
for sheer unwillingless of the extra effort we need to put for changing,
we don't wanna do it.
simple, yet ironic.
changing ourselves:
comes in two ways:
1. determination to change for what we think is for the better;
2. influence from other people.
more often than not,
it's point 2.
but we don't realise it.
because we think we're always right.
and because of that mindset,
we always think that we change for the better.
and misunderstanding sets in.
for people don't always see the way you do.
even in best friends,
there's gonna be misunderstandings.
and little misunderstandings if not talked out,
will become big misunderstandings,
then will become conflicts,
and blahblahblah,
and in the end,
will become a grudge.
no matter whether it's buried or not.
it has existed and always will.
thus, take the extra effort to apologise and talk things through.
change.
something that i'm trying to understand,
and overcome.
by writing this post,
i have changed.
i've changed the way i think about change.
ty for reading this ultra long post. :)
