Change

Change is something that constantly happens and I hate it. But people change, which is okay. Sometimes they don't change for the good, which is okay. Sometimes change hurts, which is okay. Change is the only thing in life that will constantly stay the same. There are a few things that don't change though, love is one. Even though you may not love who someone is now, you may have loved who they were. Which is nice, to always love who someone was. I don't really know how we know the people we love won't change but we do. We know that deep down they will always be the person we care about, and as long as they don't hurt us I think we keep loving them. My theory is that when you love someone you don't love them because they love you, or because they give you what society says you should have, but because you just love them. You love who they are, how they think, how they not only treat you but those around you. I think that is how you know you love someone and that they won't change. Is that at their core they are what you consider a good person.
I always say "You aren't perfect, but you are perfect for me." And it's true, someone you like isn't perfect, you should never believe someone is perfect, because they aren't, neither are you, but you can think someone is perfect for you. I think the best kind of love is being able to look at someone and say "Hey, you are acting this way." And instead of getting mad when someone says it you should say "I trust them, they love me, I should look at myself." If you look at yourself you may end up saying "They were right!" Instead of ignoring them, the person you care about leaving, and you ending up saying "Shit they were right and the person I love is gone."
Don't expect that just because someone loves you that they will stay no matter what, people have limits. Respect those limits and you will have a great relationship with others.
