Change

My whole life, I have been presented to a single element called change. Change occurs in many different forms and is carried out in many different ways. However, just recently, I have come to the realization that change can be the deepest of all subjects. I always assumed that change occurred when you moved to a new town or when you lost someone close to you. Those are elements to change, yes, but change doesn't have to occur over a single dramatic event. It can just happen overnight when your brain determines it's time to do something different.
For obvious reasons, people reject change. Especially people who are close to each other because they feel that this change is going to separate them and make them not as close as they used to be. They fight the change until they force the person to change. It's sad how this works, but in reality, it's probably the single most reason why people change. The people special to us love us so much that they want us to remain the way we are forever. Forever is a long time and not one person can always stay the same. Sometimes if the people we love would just accept the change and go with it, they would understand where the change was originally coming from.

It's dangerous to try to stop change and argue against it, especially if the person wants to change so much. Usually, the reason of change is not a matter of choice, but some sort of need to change people feel inside their heads and hearts. It's almost like a celestial force is making them change and they have no say on the matter; but they know they have to because their mental and physical attributes are commanding them to. Maybe the change isn't the best change, but if we really look and dig deeper, they are not really changing, but just trying to explore and find themselves and the one thing they need the most is the support of the people who they care about the most. When the people close to them dismiss their change as something unimportant and try to guard down everything by rules and regulations, they begin to change out of sadness that the one group of people they thought would understand, really has no clue. Maybe change isn't always good or bad but it could be looked at as something to help you grow. So just remember, if someone is changing, be there for them, offer your opinion but help them go through whatever they need to go through because they will do what they need to do regardless of the situation.
