Change

It all just disappears, doesn't it? Everything you are, like breath on a mirror...But times change, and so must I. We all change. When you think about it, we are all different people, all through our lives and that's okay, that's good! You've gotta keep moving, so long as you remember all the people that you used to be. I will not forget one line of this, not one day. I swear. I will always remember...

The above abbreviated quote is from a show.  I find it very poignant and also found that it appeared at a very interesting time in my life.

I think it rings so true.  I do believe that we do change as we grow.  Sometimes we even become a different person.  I think at some point that scared me.  Made me wonder who I was, who I am, and who I will be.

But I guess you have to change.  Things in life happen.  I think you just can't forget who you were.

Remember all the times and pieces that made you what you were, but do not get hung up on them.  They may have brought you  where you are in life now, but they do not keep you where you are.

There are always choices.  Sometimes choices are not easy to make, you fear making a mistake.  But being still just gets you stuck.

I have made many errors in my life, and will probably make more.  I think I just got to a point where I rather move than stand in place.  I may upset people or make people scratch their head with my decisions, but at the end of the day, it is my choice and I will be the one that has to live with it.

There are good people out there.  Those bonds can be strained, but never broken when they are strong.

In the end I will always be me, but me always will continue to evolve.
