Changes made over time...
A few times this week, I've thought about the people from my past that I have had relationships with. Whether that was as friends or in the romantic sense. Anyway the main thing that keeps coming back into my mind is that, the people I once knew...I no longer know now. That may be obvious I know. But what I really mean is, the person I once knew from that relationship whatever type it was...that person no longer exists... (Bare with me for this one.) We are now strangers to one another. Just people who crossed paths once upon a time. I mean of course you may cross paths in the future, but it will be different. It will be like seeing a blurred image...you can make out who it is but you don't really know that person, not the person they once were...and of course the same goes for you. They no longer know you, compared to the person that you used to be.
As humans we adapt and change due to a number of things. Our surroundings, the people we meet in life, the situations or even struggles we go through and just developing in general, with habits and taste. So the point I am trying to make is...unless we go through life with that particular person around, you will eventually lose sight of who they used to be in general but also to you. It sounds strange I know, but it also makes a lot of sense...to me at least.
Some people even believe that we no longer know that person as soon as the relationships connection is broken...because something has to of changed for the two people to not feel the need to have them in their life anymore or to not feel the way they did when the connection was initially made...but of course that is more the emotional side of it, and really I am talking about everything...I guess from this blog I am really going against the saying 'people can't change'. Because I think they can change, but it's more of a development over time, and a lot of it is just a natural occurrence...rather than someone changing because people believe they should or because they need to...but I guess thats a whole other tangent.
Who knows this whole thing may have been really obvious to some of you, but I guess for me I'm just starting to see things in a different way...I put it down to the books I'm reading.
