The Consistency of Change

Being a new blogger I thought I'd share something that I haven;'t with many others. Whenever I'm down and out, I like to read a little poetry, listen to music, or watch films that make me cry.

Today - I came across a poem by Percy Shelley - 'Mutability'. So my parents have always told me that I cannot buy time, once it's over it's over - things change, people change, situations change - can we really control it? Or is it something we have to learn to accept? 

After reading this poem, analysing it, thinking about it - I realise how scared I am of change. Throughout my life I've always hated losing control - which explains why I don't drink - but I cannot control change. I look back through childhood photos, see myself smiling, laughing, carefree... years I will never get back. Friends I may never see again. I miss it - we all do I guess. I miss the friends I had, and even the friends I still have... the amount everyone has changed - do they ever think about those times? Or remember who they used to be? Do we remember who we used to be? We may never know what went wrong, what went right - but all I know is that life is what we make of it ... if we miss someone, we reach out, if we miss the way we were, it's never too late ... Just be happy and everything will gradually just become another element of our lives.

People have changed. But my heart hasn't... I still have faith in you. I still miss you. & even when you believe that I hate you - when you're in trouble I will drop the world just to be right where you are - I promise you. But promise me, that no matter how situations get crazy, no matter how little you believe ... you won;t lose sight of what really matters. Because you are the family I chose.
