Dealing with Change

People change. Some for the better and some for the worse. It's all up to us to make the correct decision of whether we want to continue associating with certain individuals.

"Without communicating, we can take in false information and overthink a situation when it may not be complicated. It may just be something which both people haven’t realized..”

Let's start here.

Alrighty so let’s start off by saying straight up that people can change. The people which we used to know, can change. The people with whom we would laugh so hard that our stomachs and faces would hurt, suddenly he/she begins to show signs of distance. Not talking or talking differently, giving different facial expressions, or sometimes we just have that slight feeling of “did i do something wrong.” (Let’s be honest, all of us have had that feeling with someone. That’s something we can all relate on.)

Everyone does change over time. Some change for the good, and some for the bad. But sometimes two individuals can change so much, even if it is for the good, that no matter how close, no matter how tight of a bond you had with the person, you can become distant to one another. I have always said it, communication is ALWAYS key in any type of relation, whether it’s a relationship, friendship, or family relation. Without communicating, we can take in false information and overthink a situation when it may not be complicated. It may just be something which both people haven’t realized. So if you have confusion regarding a friend, or any individual, be sure to text them, call them, or get in contact with him/her and clear it out. It’s quite possible that it was just a misunderstanding you were living under and you could get that person back into your life. However, if you communicate and that person does say that there was something, then talk about it and if the end result is that he/she doesn’t want to continue to be friends, so be it.

Why would you spend your time and energy on someone who doesn’t want to give the same back in return to you? Why put that mental stress on yourself in your life? Instead, accept it that we can’t always please everyone. Sure, there are people which I’d rather not associate with, but it’s also the same vise versa. You can't be best friends with everyone - can't please everyone. There will be plenty of people in life who will come and go.

There will be those few people which will stay close, which will stay close; they're the people which you have to focus on. It's better to have a number of friends which understand you, support you, and don't judge you, rather than a hundred friends with which you have to act differently around. Moral of the story, is that friends/people can change, but don't change yourself just trying to hold on to the relation. If it's time to let someone go, let them go. Life will take you in the right direction with the right people but it's up to you if you want to accept it or not.
