Change

People are always talking about change: the acceptance of it, how hard it is to adapt, etc. However the concept of change seems as tricky as time; they’re both human constructs. Change is, in fact, just another way we mark time. We try and notice the subtle differences between one point and another and we mark them as two distinct ideas by their changes. More often that not though we talk about how people, even ourselves, have changed over time. In thinking about myself it’s hard to notice any changes directly; everything is such a slow transition to something else. I know part of me has changed, but what exactly remains the same? is it even possible to change completely, to leave a part of ourselves behind and to replace it with something else? I don’t think so. No matter what happens I can see myself reverting to my old ways, whatever they may be. I don’t think anything is behind us, we simply try to explain the present moment by the differences between the now and the then.
