People DO Change

I just want to take a moment to say that people DO change.

At first you want to go with the cliche and say that "people never change,"
but that's just an excuse for you not to give them a chance.
Whether it's a friend, boyfriend or girlfriend, sister or parent, brother or child,
you should at least just give them a chance.

Yesterday I was in the social security office and ran into a person, that I didn't
even know his name, that I went to high school with. Unfortunately, I was
recognized because of who I dated in high school. Given that was almost 6 years ago.
Just for the record, I am not that "girl who dated so and so" anymore.

Life goes on and people change. That doesn't mean you should take the person
that you have fell in love with, and try to change every little flaw they have.
Instead, you should love each one of those flaws and realize that some of those
flaws, are the reasons you fell in love with them.

Over time, people do grow up. Whether or not you choose to believe that.
For others it takes until they're about 28 or older, and for some we've been
grown up since the day we left home. It takes time, and everyone can change.

But does that mean they should? Not always.

Basically what I am trying to say is GIVE THEM A CHANCE.

Don't put them down or tear them apart bit by bit until they feel worthless.

All the person needs is a simple sentence that's honest and to the point if
the fact is they need to change. Don't get on your high horse quite yet because
you know it may not be the other person.

It could be you that needs the changing. Whether or not you believe that,
you should always look at yourself before assuming it's the other person.

Over time it is true, people can change. If we need that change, you actually have to ask us. Or it won't happen.

Then you will just stay broken or disappointed.

Do me a favor, take a good look at your life.
Does it need some adjusting? Some change?
Maybe even just the simplisest tweak...

You'd be surprised what a little change does to you.

That's all for today, it may not make sense but that's what came to me.

Stay posted and keep reading.
