To everyone that I used to know.
I am a human being, a dynamic entity not only capable of change, but dependent on it. I am sorry that things are not the way they used to be, try as hard as I can, I will still never be able to be the past. I am beyond that, I am no longer my memories. Memories are memories, moments that at one point in time may have existed but now hold little more merit than a dream. I have known fun times in my life and I have known sad times in my life, and the one thing that remains constant through all these events in my life is my ongoing ability, predisposal rather, to come out of each new situation changed, for what I can only imagine is the better. If I had experienced no change I feel as though a new experience would never be possible, and then what would life be? It is with this that I ask, why does everyone so fear change? Why do people stand aside and whisper, "Wow, college has really changed them," like it is some sort of tragedy? The tragedy in life is to not change, to not experience every new moment as just that. I would never want a friend who stays the same forever I would rather surround myself with people as dynamic as I am. Unfortunately, it has become clear to me through a dramatic correlation between date of visit to Flint and amount of people willing to spend time with me, that perhaps not everyone feels the same. I understand that I am not around often and growing apart happened, but it is going to be a really long month if I have to kick a soccer ball around in my backyard alone everyday.
