change.

she's not the same girl anymore. she's changed. hanging out with her is like hanging out with a new person... a stranger even. she's changed and its sad. she's making decisions she swore she would never make. doing things that are hard to believe are true. she's different. the girl she once was is no longer... if she's there, she's hidden by layers of new choices and feelings that can't be understood.

people change. change can be a good thing. for some, change is what they need. for others it can spell disaster. change happens because of choices that are made. decisions that force people to go in one direction or the other. right or left. yes or no. good or bad. everyone changes. people that were once the closest friends turn into strangers in the hallways. theres nothing that can stop it. no matter how much the process wants to be stalled, it can't be. people have to change. the world would never go anywhere if everyone stayed the same. there would be no maturing. no learning. no mistakes. nothing new... everyone changes. its one of those things in life that is just accepted. in order to grow up, a person has to change. sometimes it's a scary process. sometimes its hard. sometimes... its really lonely. but it happens. and life goes on. yes, maybe friends are lost. feelings hurt. battles lost. but change shapes the world. without change... we might just cease to exist.
