Changes

Change is inevitable and unavoidable. However, sometimes it sneaks up on you.



I sometimes find myself in a strange conversation. I’ll think back to the beginning of the conversation, about nothing related, and try to remember how it went from a normal conversation to this realm of strangeness. Generally, it’s very difficult to recall all the subject changes that had happened only a few minutes before.



Examining one’s own changes over the course of time is similar. The beginning and the end are completely different, but there is a progression of events that led from one point to the other. However, instead of the difficulty of recalling a few minutes of conversation from just before, it’s nearly impossible to remember all the events that led to these changes in yourself.



Change isn’t always positive. Some things are not better than before. Sometimes you wish you could throw it in reverse for those parts. Wishing is easy, reversing change is much harder.
