Change.

Some people think that change is a good thing and they embrace it, while other people believe change to be a bad thing and they hate it. I see change as a good and bad thing. Some changes are good while other changes are not. My feelings towards change stay the same when it applies to people. There is nothing wrong with people changing themselves, but what really irks me is when people change themselves and who they are for other people. I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

If someone can't accept you for who you are, why would you still want to be friends with them? You shouldn't have to change for that person or group of people. If they really want to be friends with you, they'll accept you for who you are truly. And if they don't, they weren't your friends in the first place. More and more people nowadays find it necessary to change themselves to change themselves to fit in with other people. Within this process of changing, they lose sight of who they really on are the inside. I comment those that stay true to themselves. Kudos to you guys. And to those of you that feel like you need to change yourselves for another person or other people, think about it. Do you really want to hang out with these people that badly? Are they worth changing yourself? Most importantly, think of your other friends. How is this change going to affect them? I know from personal experience how it feels to start losing a friend of they made themselves different for other people. It hurts a lot. Especially when you realize that you're in love with them. But ya know.

So the next time you meet someone new and they want you to change or you feel like you need to change for them, remember to ask yourself how it's going to effect you and those around you and if it's really worth it. Change isn't bad, just make sure you keep in mind the outcomes of what you're doing. You could end up hurting a lot of people and ultimately end up hurting yourself in the long run.

Change can be good or bad. Just know what you're doing when you decide to change. Pay attention to this because it's really important. Trust me on this when I tell you that you need to realize what you're doing when you make the decision to change.

Thanks for hearing me out on this and hopefully you keep my warning in mind.
