Do we ever really know someone?
People are so volatile. They change every day, hour by hour, second by second, so do we ever really know anyone? Do we every really know ourselves?
Recently, I’ve realised that there are a lot of people in my life that I really don’t know anymore. We might have been close once, but now? Not so much. Most people would say “so what? Get on with it, people change.” and they do, but that doesn’t mean that it upsets me any less when I lose a close friendship with someone.
Why do people change? What makes them become someone you don’t know? Issues, problems, life changes, things that go on. Is it so wrong that I want to know the reasons for people changing? Is it so wrong for me to want to just be there for them unconditionally?
Well, if I’ve said it once, then I’ll say it a thousand times, I am always, always, there for the people who need me. I have ears, I can listen. I have eyes, I can read, I have a brain, I can give advice, but some people just won’t believe it.
If you’ve changed because something’s going on, if you’re distancing yourself from your friends because you don’t think they’ll understand, try them. Tell the ones you can trust and let them be there for you. Let them understand, because if you don’t, you’ll lose them. You’ll alienate yourself, and you’ll also leave them wondering what they did wrong.
So, rant over,
