The problem with people is that we’re all so dynamic. just when you think you know someone, they change and you’re left wondering what happened. life’s funny that way. Yep, that’s what i’m thinking this week. This comes up alot in family life. Parents see their kids changing as they grow up, and start noticing that who their son/daughter was is not who they are now. The younger brother might stop looking up to the older brother, and decide to be what he wants to be. The little brother grows out of torturing his sister, and so and so forth. all the while, we adjust to this new persona our family members develop. Even though sometimes we don’t like it, and find them harder to deal with, we adjust, because we love them. when you are as far from home as i am, and certainly as many others are, the definition of family grows to include your friends, at least for alot of people. It’s funny how the same trends from family life pop up with your friends. I’m really having trouble dealing with one of my “family” at this point, but I find myself coming back to this: people change. and sometimes you have to decide if you’re okay with that change. and if you are okay with it, you need to give them room to change, and if not, well, you still need to give them room to change. It hurts more when you’re not okay with it, because the way you give them room is to let them go. i don’t know if i want to let go, but i’m not okay with it. lord, help me make the right choice, and help me to deal with the consequences of that choice. amen. Sorry for this to be so somber, i’ll try to keep it positive next time.
