People seldom change; their style may change, favorite color, who they vote for may change. But a person, the true definition of a person seldom changes. Its our perception that changes.
Their comes a point in almost all relationships where it feels as if the other person's changed into a stranger... we may recognize the face, the eyes, the smile but we don't know who it belongs too. What we once thought was self-confidence now seems cocky, the independence we admired is now distance or the affection is now clingy. All these things still mean the same but it's our thoughts, mood and perception that's changed them into either something positive or negative.
The same goes for those girls who you swore you'd never be like suddenly want to be your friend. They haven't changed, I promise you that. Your perception has, you've allowed yourself to see past what you believe to be wrong or right for momentary popularity or attention. Well how about life long happiness and attention? It's out there, it just may take a little longer to find.
Be true to yourself, surround yourself with people who are going to support you and encourage you. You should never feel shamed or disliked for a choice you believe is right. I truly believe things happen for a reason and we need to fall to learn how to pick ourselves back up. And every time you stand up you become a little wiser. You can't appreciate what you have at the top until you've lived at the bottom. Be humbled by everything you do.
Should you ever forget, remember the reasons why you fell in love. See your partner for who they are and LOVE them for it. You can only wish they will do the same. The little things you used to think we're cute, now drive you mad, let them make you smile. Remember when this person used to make you smile with just a glance or without even being in the same room. Go back to falling in love. Nobody ever said it has to stop, we get comfortable and complacent and then its routine. I say dont just be in love, fall in love every morning and get swept off your feet every night. And dont forget you've gotten complacent, what are the little things you used to do when love was the most exciting thing in your life. Your partners noticed. Show love, be love.
