Change..

It happens everyday, you cant help it nor do you ever really realise it until its in your face. You don't even notice the change in yourself. The difference in the Clothes you put on, the way you do your hair. The difference in the way you talk and the way you react to things. Its simple really, its uncontrollable and completely unavoidable. We all say at one point in our life that we wont change. "I wont change! I'll still be the same Jensen you met a year ago!" I lied. I cant be that guy forever and I dint want to really. Well I'm still Jensen just a little different. perhaps different things bring me joy. Speed back in to yesteryear and ask me what car I want. I would have told you a Nismo GTR Z-tune, I mean, whats not to love? A monoblock engine used only in the highest echelons of racing in japan in my very own street legal toy with a $250,000+ price tag? Ask me now and Ill tell you I'm pretty much happy with the family van that gets me from here to there.

I've witnessed change in everyone, friends become more into this less into that. Some realise they want something else from what they have been wanting for as long as they can remember. Its true that sometimes change can be for the worse, but is it really all that bad? Perhaps someone changes from Christian to Muslim, perhaps they go from Muslim to atheist? Is that bad change? or is it good? In all truth many would see it as bad. well if you were Christian and saw your friend become Muslim, Say what you will and fight it as hard as you can, but the way you see that person will have changed, even if its the smallest of changes. Its just human nature to do so. But after all is religion not but a state of mind? Don't take offence if you are reading this and thinking gee wizz this guy thinks that religion is but a state of mind. Because I don't. but think back 2 seconds and did you notice your change in your thoughts about me? Meh.. maybe you didn't. All I'm trying to say is that can you truly judge someone fully upon the actions that you perceive? Can you? Don't you owe it to the person to ask their state of mind when they made that change? Well unless they go and do something of a horrendous nature. In the end its all about understanding.

Change is fun, if you don't change you will probably get left behind. Don't fight it, its just a right of passage. Change is maturing, new understanding, development and insight. I don't know why I'm talking about change to tell the truth. Perhaps I'm just trying to convince myself and sell myself the whole change is good bull. Theres just been alot of changes in life, so much so recent, not all good though I'm trying to find the silver lining in each. Some I don't think I will ever find and others are becoming more and more wonderful, though I cant help but linger in the past. After all we must look back to see who we were and to look forward to who we are to become. So perhaps when you sense change, be it favourable or not, find that silver lining and make the change personal and something for you.

Changing Hearts, There is no replacement only growth and diiscovery.
