Kinda amazing how people can change so much in a couple years. People you thought you knew and would never change all of a sudden seem to different. Goes to show that people can change. A friend of mine said, "I can't change who I am." You CAN change who you are. It might take time and patience and its a hard task, but its not impossible. And sometimes, what you think you are now, isn't what you really are and the day might come when you realize and think to your self, "This isn't me." I never thought there would come a day that me, the shy guy who suffers from stage fright, would become a lector at church and even play as Jesus in the play! You CAN change my friend.
Thinking back on the last five years of my life, I notice that I have changed. People have come into my life and left and some are still here. Clothing styles, music preference, outlook on life, and even the hair have changed. What ever happened to that shy kid with the short hair and braces who always used to follow his cousins around? It feels so wierd to be looked up to now rather than being the one looking up. It sure is strange, but being older you realize that you have to set an example for the youngins. I look at my school ID now and see the number "11" for grade. Jeez I'm old! Just another year and life is gonna come knocking on my door with a baseball bat in hand. I'm pretty sure I'm going to pay sooner or later for slacking off in high school.
Funny thing about looking to the past, is that you can't help but turn around and look toward the future.
Deep shit Jonkip.
ReplyDeleteI think about stuff like this a lot. This fall, we're gunna be seniors. Then college.
And all of a sudden; Life.
nice post. i like the times when you're thinking about life and stuff like this hits you. the rate at which everyone grows up and matures, and the moment[s] in which we notice the type of person we are becoming, always amazes me.
