When we say things like "people don't change" it drives me crazy because change is literally the only constant in all of science. Energy, Matter, It's always changing, morphing, merging, growing, dying. It's the way people try not to change that's unnatural. The way we cling to what we perceive how things were instead of letting things be what they are.
Our history is who we are plain and simple. Deny it, twist it, ignore it, or putting it in front of rose coloured glasses or blaming someone else does not change it, it’s done. We need to embrace it, both the good and the bad with everything we have. There are moments that are irreplaceable and forever perfect, but it’s the way we cling to old memories instead of forming new ones that allows years to pass by waiting for “someday”.
Pink Floyd - Time
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to nought
Or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone
The song is over
Thought I'd something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells
The way we insist on believing that anything in this lifetime is permanent. Change is constant. How we experience, embrace and adapt to that change that's up to us. It can feel like death or it can feel like a second chance at life. If we open our fingers, loosen our grips, go with it, it can feel like pure adrenaline. Like at any moment we can have another chance at life. Like at any moment, we can be born all over again. Every day is a fresh start, what you do with it is up to you and only YOU! Don't be afraid. Feel the Fear and do it anyway
What we need to understand that there comes a time in your life, when you have to walk away from all the drama and people who create it, no matter who they are. You surround yourself with people who challenge you and make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, give hope to the ones who don't. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living.
Death’s Coming, Life’s Foreplay
