As you get

Older, you should change. Not only physically but mentally and emotionally as well. This should be because of new experiences that shape your worldview and help you find your place in society. To many of you this is obvious because you have gone through this process. To many others it is a very foreign idea that they are on the past to, and to a small percentage, they are completely oblivious to this. This reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend sometime ago. She told me not that only I had changed, but I had changed for the worse. She had no credible evidence to prove her stance. She said she just hada "feeling". Her tone of voice suggested that change in general was wrong. She felt that a person should be done "growing up" at about 20 years old. I laughed at this because I thought it was silly. I then explained to her what I previously stated in this entry. I told her that it had been a while since we last spoke and I had went through some experiences where I learned valuable things. You know, pretty much what every human being on the planet does. For some reason she got angry and said some not so nice things. I will not repeat these things because this is a family blog and I do not wish to expose such filthy vernacular upon my readers. Let's just say there were a lot of fiddlesticks and gosh darn its were spoken. At first, I felt pretty bad. Did I really turn into an asshole? Did somebody who I thought knew me very well see a side of me point something out that I could not see? Fuck that. After mulling it over I realized she hadn't changed in years. This clearly said volumes about her character. She has the same views her entire life. I pitied her blindness. I would have tried to see things in a different light, but I'm busy with shit. I have naps to take and cheeseburgers to eat. I am Baliwala. I believe change is not something you keep in your pocket. That is all.
