People never change, yet they change. Yes, confusing statement, but let me explain. People change over long periods of time, and alot of time they aren't the same person that you met. So you want them to change, but they are never going to change back to the person you remember them being. Does that make sense? I wasted to much time wishing someone would change. And i'm sure i missed out on alot because i was waiting, actually i know i did, which leads me to my second conclusion...
...Listen to your friends. I say this for a number of reasons, one being they see things differently than you do, from an outside perspective. And 99.9% of the time they are correct with what they 'think' will happen. If i would have listened to my friends, particulary two of them, on a variety of different topics i would probably be in a very different place right now. which leads me to my third and final realization...
...Every decision i have made over the past few months has gotten me to where i am now. i'm really happy where i am now, would i have gotten here sooner if i would have listened to my friends advice and realized that people will never change? idk, maybe. Would i not be at this place in my life at all if i would have listened? i have no clue, all i know is that i have two very good friends who totally predicted where i am now, one of them months ago. i just find it ironic. The way things work out, and the way things dont. Looking back i see what i didnt see then. I know now why God tells us no sometimes...he sees the whole picture...and we dont.
I also came to the conclusion that i think about things to much.
i like the bloggy :) very deep and contemplative.
