Is it really, I mean really possible for us to erase our pasts, and change?
It is something I think about often, as I know myself I have done some pretty unforgivable things, that I wish I could forgive myself for, but have never been able to. So how can you expect others to change, when you don't change yourself? Are we always harder on ourselves than we are others?
The big questions. My observations have showed me that often when we forgive, we forget, and then head straight back down that path that we swore to ourselves we would never walk down again. I would like to believe that people can change, but much experience has taught me that they can't, and this is not necessarily a bad thing, but something that we need to remind ourselves from time to time.
Yes, we can change our hair, our clothes, our jobs, our boyfriends, and even our friends, but can we really change who we are, and do we want to?
Don't get me wrong I love alllll of my friends and consider each and every one one of them as part of my family, but there are people you trust, and people you really trust. Sometimes I forget this, and was given a little reminder just this past weekend.
My mother once told me that if I could count on all five fingers friends that I could trust, and I mean trust with the deepest and darkest secrets then I would be the luckiest girl in the world. I remember thinking "wow Mum, you must be a loser because I have at least ten best friends". Needless to say I was in Grade 9, and mid fight with 3 of my "best friends".
So my answer to my question is that I believe that people grow, the grow up, grow taller, grow apart, or grow together, but people do not change.
