Throughout my short lifetime a contradiction has passed through my ear canals many a times. "People always change". "People never change". For awhile it riddled me these silly little strings o' words. It has now become clear to me, an ever-flowing pool of freshwater. Beings do adapt. Evolve, rather. Slowly. The cells of our body split and die, new tissue and organs form. Follicles encase new hair that arises from our skin. The person that we believed we knew so well, extinct. It brings fascination to me that the things that may seem so common will one day be newborn experiences. Reliving something old for the first time again, refreshing ain't it? And while change may not be the correct word for it, I disagree with the statement that "people never change". We are all becoming someone new.
