Change

When you stop and think about it, the course that a person takes is determined by the individuals and significant events that take place in their life time. If we truly look back at all the people that had once touched us so deeply but we had lost connection with, it's enough to make you cry. Two lines crossing eachother, each going a different direction, and different path, but for that small time, when the lines intersected, there was no such thing as coincidences. No such thing as "Fate" it just...happened. We look past these moments, brushing them off with a flick of a hand or a laugh, not thinking about the huge impact that the one moment had on us at one point in our life. When you stop and think about it, change is something nobody can control. The world is constantly changing, people are constantly changing. One day everything can be clear and certain, the next blurry and frustrated. It's human. It's normal. To change, to feel, to accept all the emotions that come with being a human being. To act on these would be foolish, to not act on them would be even more. We have to let them come, settle down in our hearts for a short time, then send them off. To embrace the gut wrenching reality and take it with a poker face would be...lying. Humans lie all the time. Sometimes to protect themselves or others. Sometimes for fun, and sometimes to gain things they could not by being honest. It's one thing to lie to others. But to lie to ourselves? Destructive. Why must we always conform to society and hold back our true selves. many times people will do something great, something different, something that could change their life and the lives of many others, but they hold back, out of fear, out of desperation, out of lack of confidence and faith. They put dreams and hopes on back burners and map out a "plan" that they believe will lead them in the right direction. People are lost.
People have never and will never have it all together. They search and pray and come to conclusions that they believe have taken years to reach. People are...hopeless.
Without a higher power their ants. Walking in a line. Mindlessly fufilling their obligations and duties but never stopping to...jump head first into something completely different. No one has ever been able to just. Let go. Of everything. Completely. It's not possible. To do so would mean... being something else, something other than human. To do so would mean draining out all emotions and just exist. Animals exist. Humans Live.
