Change is the only constant. As cliche as it may sound, it never fails to be proven right. I changed, people around me changed, in fact everyone changed. There are many reasons as to what changed us and these reasons vary for each and every single individual.
Sometimes, at times when I am alone. I think about how I've changed and grown up all these years. And not more than often, I almost couldn't remember who I was 5 years back. It was those things and reasons that changed me reminded me of who I am before. I always think to myself: Did I change for the better or otherwise? Am I still being me? Or did I change to fit into the society? Does it really matter if I stray away from the social norm? Is it really so important to live 'normally'? Be an adorable kid, listens to whatever parents say, be the top in class, follows curfew strictly, no relationship, get into Uni, get a good job, have a family at the right time, do well in life, blah blah blah and the list goes on. I feel tired even thinking about living 'normally'. Is this what life is suppose to be? Living like what others want you to be. Its time for a CHANGE.
I did change. I learnt to keep everything to myself because I know he doesn't like to see the weakness in me. I learnt to stop sharing because I know not everyone is thankful. I am still me until that one day. I am confused, lost and afraid at first. But later, I thought to myself: Maybe that's how we survive in the society. We never trust anyone too much. We might treat others like best friends, but will they do the same? I've also seen people pulling their friends down for whatever reasons. Oh, friends. Is that what friends are for? We never fall in love too easily. We might love another with all our heart, but will they do the same? Yes. Life is never fair. Never expect to get back what you gave. Always be independent and live for yourself. Never live for someone else.
Changes may be good or bad. But you will never know until you try it yourself. Take a risk, make a change. Life would be different. We only live once. Do it without regrets.
