You Can Fight Some Things...Human Nature Is Not One Of Them.

Sometimes I think about where I was exactly a year ago on a particular date (today one year ago, for example, I was preparing to watch the Lunar Eclipse). And I think about how much things have changed since that day. It's amazing how things evolve, how you never expect to be where you end up. And it's even more alarming how much people change and how far apart or close together you become. The old saying is "things change, people don't.", right? So, could it be that in some circumstances they don't change but merely reveal what they've been all along?

I have a friend who's changed. And it's blamed on getting older. Except, you don't really change when you get older. You just mature more and get tired earlier and want to go to bed after 2 drinks. And I'm trying to figure out if this difference is him revealing what he was all along that I missed, or if it's because of his environment and other influencing factors.

It happens every so often. People not being who you thought they were. People usually show others what they want them to see. We obviously don't offer up the worst parts of ourselves or then we wouldn't have any friends at all. But after some time, our true nature is revealed and it always shocks me that, as observant as I am, I miss things sometimes. This usually happens when I've succumbed to some sort of emotional attachment to a person and are no long objective to the situations(stupid feelings).

This year I've learned a lot about people. I was quite surprised by a few of them. And in some cases, it was just them revealing who they truly were. I guess I can't be mad about that. Ones nature cannot be helped. It's just unfortunate that their ways didn't jive well with my undeniable nature. It always saddens me though. I try to live by the 'what you see is what you get' code. If I'm short tempered and bitchy, I'm not gonna hide it. If at times I'm a bit selfish, so be it. If I like talking about migrating to my new planet called Nay-tosh and how much I love Stargate Atlantis even though people have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm not gonna stop myself. Love me or hate me, but at least you're getting the real me. The only part I sometimes hide is the nice part. Cuz only the most worthy people get to see that side....
