In People We Trust

It is always terrifying to realize that the people you once surrounded yourself with are not what you thought. You may grow accustomed to a certain way of life, so you fossilize the way you remember that person into an idealistic image. People are changing constantly and are influenced by their surroundings, so we can't depend on them to not change. We all do this because it is easier to rely on the past, then to depend on the future. This view of the world may seem pessimistic, but is the sad reality that you just may be the only stable factor in a world speeding by you.

It is naive to believe that a significant person or persons in your life will always remain. The more we try to depend on someone or something the more the universe throws us back in our place. We need to learn to be comfortable in our own skin and not put everything we have into something we've grown accustomed to.

Now this doesn't mean that a you can't love or trust someone, all this means is that we need to always be prepared for change. It just so happens that the last change you expect, is in the people we decide to invest in.It may seem like a tough pill to swallow, but eventually we all come to the same conclusion, one way or another.
