Life changes all the time... The things you want, the things you dream about, everything about everyone changes all the time, and it's amazing how often we don't realize it... As you get older often the things you thought would be so important, somehow just aren't anymore. Trying to make every relationship into one that will last forever is less important, the way relationships look to other people becomes null and void, and in a lot of ways, relationships just aren't as important... It sometimes takes a while to understand this... And sometimes it's sad... The way you notice everything from your life before slipping away... Like, when you're in college and you realize that everything you knew in high school is gone... The people are gone... Even if they're there, because they change so much... Everything changes... Head cheerleaders and captains of the football team aren't the be all end all... Who got most attractive, or most popular, or best personality is not important at all. Nobody is what you thought they were. Everyone has these expectations to live up to, but you find that you just assume others live up to what you thought they should be... Those people that you thought were so perfect and sure of themselves, aren't at all what you thought... But you realize sometimes that it's better... And sometimes you notice that you don't need anything that you thought you did... All you need is comfort... Great friends and a place to be, are all you need...
