Some people expect me to be the same way I was when I had not lived all the experiences I have faced up to now, as if it was possible to repeat the same words, make the same reflections, having always the same points of view... as if I were a fish in a fishtank, going from one side to another without memory and repeating always the same movements.
The world has changed. I have changed. You have changed as well.
A lot was done and undone up to now and facing that, how could things remain the same?
What about all the places I have gone through?
What about all the books I have read, all the things I have written?
It would be a waste of time being the same I was some time ago and if I were still thinking, writing and acting the same way - what would be the advantage of my existence, then?
Think if you have been repeating the same attitudes and waiting for different results.
Before all the changes in the world, it is perfectly natural that I have changed as well. In some aspects for better, in others not that much. Expecting for people to remain the same they were as we met them is simply stupidity. People who are like that are monotous and extremely boring.
I will change as things differentiate my perception and from that I will make my way through this place, to this earth that is now our temporary home.
Freezing in space and time is not interesting to me. I just will not change in vain, and simply to please others.
Anyone who wants to tag along is more than welcome to!
