Something that never fails to fascinate me is when someone from our past comes by one day and pops up with a line like... "Hey, you've changed."

Okay.
WOW.

Like really? Wow.

Like as if that is NOT supposed to happen. It's as if change is so fundamentally difficult that nobody is supposed to let it happen. It's like they take a gun and point it straight at your head, telling you that you... ain't you anymore.

But hey, what IS the real me? Who are YOU to tell me who am I supposed to be? So what if I've changed? Don't we all exist to change and morph and grow? So am I supposed to be 145cm short and consistently possess an IQ of 135 every time our paths cross? Hello, I'm real here, not a projection of your tainted memory.

So yeah, the next time you decide to tell someone "You've changed" (suggesting a negative connotation), think again. You have no rights to chain someone to his/her past. We are who we are TODAY, not who we WERE yesterday (even the grammar makes total sense.)

In conclusion, embrace change, be it good or bad, 'cause that's what makes us US.

That's all I have to say for today.
