It's funny how you can go months without talking to someone. Even years, and nothing about them has changed at all. I had the pleasure to catch up with an old friend today. Talking about the past and what's new with us now, and it was like we never missed a beat.
We had once been really close and could talk for hours really about nothing. And I got to thinking about change. So badly we want to change each other. You want him to be one way and he wants you to be another. But that's not what's suppose to change about people.
We are suppose to evolve. Adapt to the changes around us but not change us. Who we are is exactly who God wanted us to be. We are to stay that way because he created us with purpose. I do think however, that we are to consider who we surround ourselves with. Be mindful of who they are and evolve to people too. Don't change your spots, as the quote says. But change how you respond, think, comprehend, and act based on the times and the people you are around.
We don't need to change as much as we just need to learn to conform. I'm glad I was able to reconnect with a friend and still know her. She has evolved but my friend has proven to still have her same spots.
