I find it ridiculous when people get all hurt because someone changed. And they give all sorts of excuses as for WHY they changed, like “OH, being in a relationship changed them” or “OH, (high) school changed them” or “Oh, this and that and this and whatever else it could possibly be changed them because I can’t accept the fact that they grew up and I DIDN’T.”

Change is good, people. It’s a part of growing up and realizing who you really are and who you want to be and blah blah blah. 

To be honest, I don’t think that it was necessarily a “change.” Whoever that person becomes.. inside, they were already that person. But the people they start hanging around and the environment they choose to be surrounded by emphasize that person and their bad/good qualities. Because, think about it, if some innocent girl didn’t want to have sex with everyone or do drugs and etc etc etc, would they be stupid enough to surround themselves with people who do? No. They wouldn’t go near those people because high school isn’t filled with ONLY pot heads and sluts. There are as many good people as there were bad people. But, what, that person inside her, the one she was always going to be, wanted to do those things and surround herself with those people for her reasons. Going to a different school or having a different boyfriend probably wouldn’t have changed that.

Shit. And for those people complaining about someone changing, even though they’ve probably changed for the better - shut the fuck up. Who can blame them for wanting a break from the same dull, mind-rotting routine of “oh, that girl is so (insert snarky comment here).”

Fuck, maybe it’s you who needs a desperate change of mental scenery.
